Michigan Affidavit for Release of Expired Lien Form

A Michigan Affidavit for Release of Expired Lien Form is used by property owners to discharge a construction lien that has been filed against their property and has expired with no action to enforce the claim has been commenced.

Michigan law requires that a construction lien is only valid for one year from the date the claim was recorded. If no action to enforce the claim has been commenced within that timeframe, the claim expires and is no longer enforceable. This form can be filed by the owner with the County Clerk’s office to request a Certificate to Vacate Lien, which can be subsequently filed in the County Register of Deeds office where the property is located.
