Powerpoint Summary of New Jersey Lien Law Revisions<\/a><\/p>\n

On January 5, 2011, Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey signed into law revisions to the Construction Lien Law Statute.\u00a0 The changes affect only commercial and private projects, and have no bearing on the Municipal Mechanics Lien Law, which relates only to government projects.<\/p>\n

The bill revises the \u201cConstruction Lien Law,\u201d P.L.1993, c.318 (2A:44A-1\u00a0et al.), which provides a statutory scheme for private contractors, subcontractors and suppliers to secure payment for their labor and materials, while not impeding the free transfer of real property, through a lien filing process. The bill embodies the text of the New Jersey Law Revision Commission\u2019s Final Report on the Construction Lien Law.<\/p>\n

\u00a0This bill revises the “Construction Lien Law,” which was enacted in 1993, by:<\/p>\n

(1) clarifying and adding certain defined terms, to conform to actual construction industry usage;<\/p>\n

(2) clarifying procedures for the filing and amending of the lien claim and for the calculation, distribution and enforcement of the lien fund;<\/p>\n

(3) providing more specific provisions for discharging a satisfied lien claim;<\/p>\n

(4) further defining the arbitrator\u2019s role;<\/p>\n

(5) modifying time limits for filing and perfecting residential construction contract lien claims;<\/p>\n

(6) specifying the application of lien claims to community association property; and<\/p>\n

(7) addressing certain ambiguities as to mortgage priorities with respect to lien claims.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The bill is intended to enhance application of the 1993 act and make clearer the procedures to be followed in order to process and perfect a construction lien claim.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Among the more significant changes to the bill was an inclusion that requires county clerks to, upon request at the time of lodging for record, provide a copy of the lien claim form marked with the date and time received.\u00a0 A construction lien that is lodged for record means \u201ca document that is delivered to the county clerk and marked by the clerk with a date and time stamp or other mark indicating the date and time received.\u00a0 A lien claim that is \u201clodged for record\u201d is enforceable against anyone once notice of the lodging is provided, but does not affect the rights of parties who have not received notice until the construction lien is actually filed by the clerk. \u00a0This section of the revised lien law was added to alleviate problems caused by the filing backlog experienced in several counties.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The bill also clarifies that an action to have a construction lien claim discharged may be filed in a summary manner by filing an order to show cause in accordance with the Rules of Court adopted by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The bill was pre-filed for introduction in the 2010-2011 session pending technical review.\u00a0 The revisions to the Construction Lien Law were passed unanimously by the New Jersey Assembly on June 21, 2010 and by the New Jersey Senate on November 22, 2010.<\/p>\n
