Could we file a Mechanics Lien after it has been rejected?

New Jersey

We filed a Mechanics Lien which was rejected by the county recorder because "the timely filing date had passed". but there was an office error and we got the dates wrong. Could we file the lien again with correct paperwork to back up correct date? Were in NJ.

New Jersey law contains hard deadlines for filng liens. You must file it within a specific amount of time following the last date you provided services to the owner. If you can show you are within the time frames, you can certainly try again. However, if you are oustide the time frames, you cannot re-filed.
