A mechanic's lien is a claim against a real property for money owed for labor and materials. A mechanic's lien may be filed by a supplier or a subcontractor who has provided labor or materials and has not been paid. A lien must be properly filed by a claimant. It has a limited life, prescribed by statute that varies from province to province and state to state. If the lien-holder takes action within the prescribed time, the homeowner may be obliged to pay the amount claimed by the lien-holder.
No, not in Oklahoma anyways.
An express mechanics lien is a legal claim against a property that ensures payment for labor or materials provided during construction or renovation. It is typically filed by contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers who have not been paid for their work. This lien gives them a secure interest in the property, allowing them to seek payment through foreclosure if necessary. The express mechanics lien must be properly executed and filed within specific time frames to be enforceable.
