A mechanic’s lien is one person’s right to place a lien on property owned by another person until a debt is paid. The property could not be sold without you getting paid. In simpler terms, a lien is a guarantee that you will receive compensation for goods or services that you provide. So if you are in construction, and you do not get paid for the work that you did on a building, you can file a mechanic’s lien.
