Can I file a mechanics lien?

WashingtonBond ClaimsMechanics Lien

This is a large project on public land (a new community essentially) Yet the "Owner" of the project is an LLC. The job has gone south. They lost an arbitration award of 11.49 million as they were found to have "actual intent to defraud Lender:). The lender supplied 66 million in funds of 132 investors. We are a Subcontractor (concrete road construction, sidewalk, curb and gutter. The GC stopped work on the project for non payment. It seems I can't lien the public property. They have a Bond, but Levelset is asking for a municipality for an owner. Not sure how to proceed

You have some sticky legal questions as to whether it is a private or public situation. Plus, there are time limitations for the filing of both private liens and filing claims against public bonds and retainage bonds. You do not want to miss these time deadlines. see a construction law attorney ASAP.
