The answer to your question does not matter at a county level. Instead, the time frame to file a mechanic's lien is determined by state law. In PA, you have 6 months after last furnishing any labor or materials to the project to file a mechanic's lien. The lien must then be enforced within 2 years of the lien's filing.

Be careful when filing a mechanic's lien in Pennsylvania, as there are strict service requirements. If you don't everything served within a tight window, you can lose your lien rights. Service must be accomplished by a county sheriff, usually.

How to File a Mechanics Lien?

Mechanics liens are a legal process used to assist contractors, mechanics and those in construction to obtain payment for services rendered. A mechanics lien could cover the home or building and the land beneath it or for mechanics a lien would cover the actual automobile. If a contractor has placed a lien on the property, the owner does not have a clear title until the debt has been paid.· The procedure to file a mechanics lien may vary depending upon the state you live in, so check with district court to make sure you file everything correctly.· Some states require a title search on the property to insure that the person that owes the debt is the owner of the property that you are placing the lien upon.· Notify the owner of the property by certified mail. Include the details of the service that was provided, when the work was completed and how much is owed. There are inexpensive forms available online and through the court system that you can easily complete yourself. Check your state’s court website for helpful packets and forms for filing. Attach a copy of the bill and the services provided. Make sure to keep copies of invoices and any other evidence that will support a judgment in your favor.· File the lien with the county where the property is located. Check your state’s guidelines on whether the lien and notice need to be served personally and by whom.· If you do not receive an answer, the Court will file a judgment in your favor. This is why it is important if you are the party receiving the mechanics lien to respond to the notice. If you neglect to file an answer to the mechanics lien, it may automatically result in a judgment in favor of the moving party.The time period you are allowed to file a mechanics lien may vary as well. You may only have 60 days from the date the labor was performed to have a mechanics lien recorded. Additionally, depending upon the state you live in, you may be required to wait 20 days after you have sent notice, which usually results in payment and avoids any further legal action.Mechanics liens are usually a simple legal action that can be carried out by a contractor without any assistance. If you are unsure of the procedure, check with an attorney.
