Deadlines

Pick your remedy, then your state.

Every state writes its own lien statute, and most are strictly construed — the deadline math, notice prerequisites, and filing mechanics all differ. Choose your state for its filing deadline, notice prerequisites and enforcement window.

Lien.Claims is a document-preparation and technology platform. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice; use of this site does not create an attorney–client relationship. It does not recommend or endorse any attorney and does not analyze your situation when deciding which attorneys to show. Attorneys are shown by the location of the property; in some states one attorney pays a flat annual advertising fee for that position, and in the rest every listed attorney is shown and you choose. When you engage an attorney, your relationship is directly with that attorney, on their fee. Deadlines shown are general statutory summaries — confirm them for your project before relying on them.
