Related Questions & Answers
I completed construction more than 90 days ago. Am I out of luck in collecting my lien?
If your last labor and materials was more than 90 days ago, yes, you can no longer collect under the Michigan's Construction Lien Act. However, just because you have lost your construction lien does not mean you cannot collect. You will still be able to collect pursuant to your contract, but you will have lost the advantages and protections provided to you by the Construction Lien Act.
I am a sub-contractor, but did not file a notice of furnishing. I haven't gotten paid. Can I still collect?
Your rights to a Construction Lien Act may, or may not, have been compromised by your failure to timely file a Notice of Furnishing. However, it is unlikely that you will be able to determine at this point whether your rights have been compromised. It is, therefore, my general advice that parties in your situation immediately complete the Notice of Furnishing and the Construction Lien.
