Mechanic's lien laws vary from state to state. I am an Ohio lawyer, so I will speak from the laws of Ohio. Laws in some other states are similar. Depending on the facts of your case, the answers may also vary. If you need an attorney in your state, please feel free to contact me. I have good contacts all over the country, I will be happy to give you the contact information of an attorney in your state if I know a good one. If you want to remove it because it has been paid, usually it is as simple as filing a satisfaction of mechanic's lien with the county recorder where the lien was filed. If you want to remove it because you disagree with it, that is a different story. In Ohio you can give the lien claimant a notice to commence suit. You shouldn't try this without a lawyer, it is very technical, but shouldn't be very costly to have a lawyer do for you. In Ohio, if they fail to file a foreclosure action on the lien within 60 days, the lien is void. The problem is, be careful what you ask for, you may get it. Most often when a lien claimant is served, they file the suit in time. You are just asking them to sue you. If you don't want to take this chance, alternatively, you can bond the lien off. This is also a legal action and should be done with an attorney. If involves filing a lawsuit to ask the court to void the lien and replace the security that they lien claimant had with the lien with your bond. While getting a bond is not very easy, unless you are a business with a great credit rating, you can substitute cash in place of the bond. The cash is deposited with the court and is held pending the resolution of the lien claim. In Ohio the amount of the bond/cash deposit, will depend on the face value of the lien. A lien for $5,000 or less will require a bond in the amount of 2x the lien value. Over $5,000 will require a lien waiver in the amount of 1 1/2x the face value of the lien. I have added links to articles that I have had published in the Builders Exchange Magazine on mechanic's liens and construction related topics you may find helpful
