Unfortunately, conflicts often arise between contractors, materials suppliers, and property owners during construction projects. When disputes over unpaid labor or materials occur, many states give contractors and suppliers the right to file a mechanic’s lien against the property. This can cloud title and delay property transactions. A Mechanic’s Lien Release Bond—also called a lien discharge bond—offers your clients a practical way to remove a lien while the dispute is resolved.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program is ideal for agents who work with:
- Property owners facing liens from contractors or vendors
- General contractors or subcontractors involved in payment disputes
- Real estate investors or developers needing to clear title for refinancing or sale
You might have a client who is selling a commercial property but has a disputed lien on record. A Mechanic’s Lien Release Bond can allow the transaction to proceed without delay while the issue is contested in court.
