What is a Lien Affidavit?
A Mechanic’s Lien Affidavit is a document that asserts a lien against property for your work when you have not been paid. It is often the best legal tool that contractors, subcontractors and suppliers have to protect themselves.
Depending on where you are located, a Mechanic’s Lien Affidavit can also be referred as “Project Lien”, “Construction Lien” and even “Contractor Lien”.
Do I have to file a claim for each month I am not paid?
Yes. You cannot wait until the end of the project and file one claim. You must satisfy various statutory notices for each month in which you were not paid.
How are the dates and deadlines calculated?
This is an important issue that is often misunderstood. The dates and deadlines related for lien and bond claims are based off the month and year in which the work was actually performed. The invoice date and your personal accounting methods are irrelevant.
The important issues are when the work was actually performed and the value of the work for each individual month.
For example, assume that ABC Painting, Inc., completed a three-month painting project that lasted from January to March. ABC Painting would need to separately identify the value of the work performed for January, February, and March. It would not matter if ABC only issued one invoice at the end of the project.
Is a lien the same as a bond?
They are similar, but not the same. On a private project where a governmental entity (i.e., state, county, city, school district, etc.) is not involved, an unpaid general contractor, subcontractor, or supplier can file a lien against the property. On a public works project where a governmental entity is involved, the same contractors or suppliers (but not the general contractor) would file a bond claim against the surety which is also known as a bonding company.
Both documents seek payment for unpaid work and both documents require similar notice and filing requirements. A bond can be thought of as money being held and guaranteed by an insurance company. A lien is a claim against the actual property where the unpaid work was performed.
In Texas, it is generally not an option to file a lien against public property. The general contractor for a public project valued over $25,000.00 is required to purchase a bond for the benefit of subcontractors and suppliers. For that reason, subcontractors and suppliers usually need to file a bond claim (rather than a lien) if they don’t get paid on a public works project.
Bonds are also occasionally used by general contractors on large private commercial projects.
