Filing a Mechanic's Lien in North Carolina
Mechanic's liens are used to enforce the terms of payment in a contract when the amount that's owed remains unpaid by the property owner or other contractors in the chain. The lien operates by putting a "block" on the owner's title so that he or she will find it difficult to sell or refinance the property without first resolving the lien. In turn, the lienholder has the power to foreclose, or force a sale on the property to recover money owed. In North Carolina, potential claimants can obtain a mechanic's lien by filing a Claim of Lien on Real Property in accordance with the statutory requirements.
Claims of lien on real property may be filed at any time after the obligation matures, but no later than 120 days after the final furnishing of labor or materials at the site of the improvement by the person claiming the lien. N.C.G.S. 44A-12(b).
Unlike in many states where lien claims are recorded in a land records office, all claims of lien on real property must be filed in the office of the clerk of superior court in each county where the real property subject to the claim of lien on real property is located. N.C.G.S. 44A-12(a). The clerk of superior court shall note the claim of lien on real property on the judgment docket, and index the same under the name of the record owner of the real property at the time the claim of lien on real property is filed. Id. An additional copy of the claim of lien on real property may also be filed with any receiver, referee in bankruptcy or assignee for benefit of creditors who obtains legal authority over the real property. Id.
The Claim of Lien form must contain the following information about the contracting parties and the subject property: (1) the name and address of the person claiming the claim of lien; (2) the name and address of the record owner of the real property subject to the claim of lien at the time, and, if the claim of lien on real property is being asserted pursuant to G.S. 44A-23 (subcontractor's claims), the name of the contractor through which subrogation is being asserted; (3) a description of the real property for which the claim of lien on real property is claimed (street address, tax lot and block number, reference to recorded instrument, or any other description of real property is sufficient if it reasonably identifies what is described); (4) the name and address of the person with whom the claimant contracted for the furnishing of labor or materials; (5) the date labor or materials were first furnished upon the property by the claimant; (5a) the date labor or materials were last furnished upon the property by the claimant; and (6) a general description of the labor performed or materials furnished and the amount claimed. N.C.G.S. 44A-12(c).
Be careful when completing the form, because a claim of lien on real property may not be amended. N.C.G.S. 44A-12(e). It can, however, be cancelled by a claimant or the claimant's agent or attorney, and a new claim of lien on the real property can be substituted if it's filed within the time provided for the original filing. Id.
Once the lien is in place, it must be enforced within the provided time or it will expire. A lien is enforced by foreclosing on the property to recover the amount owed. An action to enforce a claim of lien on real property may be commenced in any county where venue is otherwise proper. N.C.G.S. 44A-13(a). No such action may be commenced more than 180 days after the last furnishing of labor or materials at the site of the improvement by the person claiming the claim of lien on real property. Id. A judgment enforcing a lien may be entered for the principal amount due which cannot exceed the principal amount stated in the claim of lien. N.C.G.S. 44A-13(c). The judgment then forces a sale of the real property subject to the lien. Id.
Liens grow old and expire, so claimants must pay attention to significant dates. If a lien claimant fails to file a suit to enforce the lien or fails to file an answer in a pending suit to enforce a lien within 30 days after a properly served written demand of the owner, lienee, or other authorized agent, the lien will be extinguished. N.C.G.S. 44A-24.10. Liens must also be released when the underlying obligation has been satisfied. If a claim for a lien has been filed with the clerk of superior court and the claim has been paid in full, or if the lien claimant fails to institute a suit to enforce the lien within the time as provided by law, the lien claimant must acknowledge satisfaction or release of the lien in writing upon written demand of the owner promptly, and in no event more than 30 days after the demand. N.C.G.S. 44A-24.11.

Quick and easy! I had previously prepared a Lady Bird deed, submitted it through Deeds.com and it was accepted/recorded by my county in just a few hours. The Deed.com $21 fee was well worth it as I saved fuel, tolls and parking costs not to mention at least 2-3 hours of my time that it would've taken to get downtown and back home!
Thanks for the feedback John. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Have an amazing day!

Good but knocked off a star because the download file names are mostly numbers instead of recognizable names of the file contents (e.g., Promissory_Note_blank.pdf). Renaming would be a great help!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The forms were very easy to use. However, the Mercer County cover page is an older version. You can find the recent version on the county website.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Deeds.com had much better and fuller information than any other help i found (90% complete vs 60 % complete); they tout how up-to-date they are on all the counties in the country and the idiosyncrasies of each county's forms and procedures; but some minor points of the info i needed were missing or confusing. Including that they sold me on e-Recording my deed through them, only to find out after i had done all the prep for that, that they had failed to tell me upfront (or i missed it somehow) that the county i was dealing with did not yet accept online recording. So, they were by far the best i found, but not 100%.
Thank you for your honest and thorough feedback Trace. We will review your concerns carefully in an effort to improve our services. Hope you have an amazing day.

I filled out the Xfer on Death Deed and turned it in to the County Recorder - everything went well. I did NOT like the Huge Print over like a stamp of "DEEDS.COM" on some of the material - it just made it hard to read.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
