When a           New Jersey mechanics lien is filed on a public project, the           lien attaches to and secures the funds           in the public owner&#8217;s hands, prohibiting           the owner from releasing that money           until the mechanics lien is satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>Contractors,           subcontractors, sub-subcontractors,           architects, engineers, and suppliers all           have lien rights under New Jersey&#8217;s           Construction Lien Law.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-lien notice           requirements exist for some lien           claimants. Anyone that does not have a           direct contract with the owner should           file a Notice of Delivery of Materials           and Services with the Owner and Prime           Contractor within 20 days of starting           work on the Project<\/p>\n<p>New Jersey has           different rules for different types of           projects.<br \/>          Construction          Liens filed on <b>commercial projects<\/b>           must be filed within 90 days after last           day the claimant provided materials or           labor to the Project.          The filing of a <b>Residential Lien           Claim <\/b>is a <u>two step process<\/u>.           <b>BOTH STEPS MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN           120 DAYS.<\/b> Within 60 days of the last           furnishing of labor or materials, a lien           claimant must file a Notice of Unpaid           Balance along with a demand for           arbitration. This arbitration has           nothing to do with the litigation or           resolution of the lien claimant&#8217;s           underlying claim. It is solely for the           purpose of determining whether the lien           claimant has the right to file a lien           claim. At the conclusion of the           arbitration, the lien claimant may file           a Construction Lien Claim for the sum of           money determined by the arbitrator.

This           differs from commercial and residential           liens, which have time requirements           starting when the work of the claimant,           not the project, is completed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lienitnow.com\/file-lien.asp\"><\/a>&nbsp;In New Jersey, liens           on <strong><em>public projects<\/em><\/strong> do not require written contracts.            <strong><em>Commercial and Residential Project Liens<\/em><\/strong>           can only be filed pursuant to a written           agreement.
