Lien Deadline Calculator
Select your state and project date to calculate preliminary notice, mechanics lien filing, and enforcement deadlines.
Dates are estimates based on general state lien law. Actual deadlines may vary based on project type, contract terms, and local requirements. Consult an attorney for specific legal advice.
Why Lien Deadlines Matter
Missing a mechanics lien deadline means losing your right to file a lien against the property. For general contractors, tracking lien waivers from subcontractors is equally critical — incomplete lien waiver chains can result in double-payment exposure.
