Most participants in a construction project have lien rights in Nevada. Generally, if you provided $500 or more for a project, you can file a mechanics lien. However, material suppliers and unlicensed contractors may not have the right to file a mechanics lien in Nevada.

The deadline to file a mechanics lien in Nevada usually falls within 90 days after last work or the official end of the project (whichever comes later).
