Assuming that "labor lien" refers to work done on a home or building in which the contractor/worker was not paid for, it is known as a 'Mechanic's Lien'. The person wishing to file the lien should take (or send by registered/certified mail) the required documents to the county assessor's/land recorder's office in the county in which the property is located. The first step would be to contact the assessor's office for specific information as US state laws differ as to what documents are required as proof of a debt owed.

Can a electrical contractor put a lien on your house?

Yes. If the contractor has performed work on the house, and has not been paid, he may file a lien. Even if you truly don't owe the contractor any money, he may still file a lien; eventually, he will have to prove its validity in court or the lien is released automatically.

The contractor should make a claim upon the sub-contractors insurance and/or bond. If the sub-contractor defrauded the contractor on having insurance and/or bonding in place then he should report the contractor to the State licensing board, file claim on their insurance, and civil lawsuit (if the insurance company does not directly file or pay).


How can they put a lien on your home if you paid the contractor?

The problem is the Contractor hasn't paid someone, such as if it were a roofer and he owes his supplier money for materials he purchased for the work done on your home. I've dealt with a similar situation, to where my business supplied labor to a janitorial company that provided service at a university. We were forced to file liens against the university in order to receive payment. Make sure that your contractor is in good standing with his suppliers. It's not offensive to a responsible contractor to ask questions as "Who is your supplier?".
