The Leveset platform currently does not support users filing liens other than mechanics liens for labor or material furnished to construction projects. However, the lien requires similar information as a mechanics lien, and must be "file[d] for record with the county clerk of the county in which the property upon which the lien is claimed or situated." It may be possible to modify a blank mechanics lien template to create a sufficient lien. The laws governing Liens on Wells and Pipelines are set forth by New Mexico Statutes 70-4-1 through 70-4-15.
