Filing a Lien on a job that our 90 days is about to expire

GeorgiaMechanics Lien

We completed a Mitigation job on a large Jewelry Store almost 3 months ago. The Insurance Company made a partial payment several weeks ago, and the final payment was made yesterday. The total is $29,000 +-. Our 90 days expires this Saturday, 11-14-20. If I file a Lien on 11-14-20, how long will it take for the customer to get notice that a Lien was Filed?

I strongly suggest you file your lien today. Make sure it complies with Georgia law, that you file it in the correct county with the correct name and legal decription, and also make sure you send the required notice to the lien debtor by Monday.

It sounds like the project is in Michigan, so hopefully you got the lien filed on a timely basis. If the "insurance company" paid you, then it sounds like it may be a surety company, which would mean that a payment bond exists. In many respects that can be better than a lien. You should investigate or engage an attorney to investigate your potential payment bond rights.
