How Connecticut mechanic’s liens work

A contractor or supplier generally has 90 days after finishing work to record a mechanic’s lien, and then one year to start a court action to foreclose it. If they miss that deadline, the lien can usually be cleared.

Ways through it

  • Pay or settle the amount at closing.
  • Substitute a bond. Posting a bond with the court can move the lien off the house so the sale can close while the dispute goes on.
  • Challenge it. Your attorney can ask the court to discharge or reduce an invalid lien.

Where CT MAX fits

We buy houses with open mechanic’s liens, including half-finished renovation projects. The written MAX Offer lets your attorney plan how the lien gets handled at closing.
