Filing a Construction Lien Claim on a Commercial Property in New Jersey: A Comprehensive Guide

Filing a construction lien claim, also known as a mechanic’s lien, is a crucial step for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to ensure they receive payment for their work or materials supplied on a construction project. In New Jersey, the process for filing a construction lien on a commercial property involves specific steps and adherence to statutory requirements. Here’s a detailed guide to help you navigate the process. The Construction Lien Law replaced the Mechanic’s Lien Law.

What is a Construction Lien?

A construction lien is a legal claim against a property for unpaid work or materials provided during a construction project. This lien can prevent the sale or refinancing of the property until the debt is paid, thereby offering security to contractors and suppliers.

Steps to File a Construction Lien Claim in New Jersey

  1. Determine Eligibility
    • Ensure you are eligible to file a lien. In New Jersey, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and certain design professionals who have provided labor, materials, or services to a commercial property are eligible to file a construction lien.
  2. Filing the Lien Claim
    • This must be done within 90 days from the last date of providing labor or materials, as required by New Jersey lien law.
    • Serve a copy of the lien claim on the property owner and the general contractor within 10 days of filing. This can be done through certified mail, return receipt requested, or personal delivery.
  3. Release of Lien
    • Once payment is received, file a lien release with the county clerk to officially remove the lien from the property records.
