To file a lien, you need to complete the lien form and there are a number of other requirements that must be filed. For example, the lien must be filed within 90 days of the last day of the month from which you last did work or 90 days from completion of the project, whichever is shorter.

You also could just file suit in General District Court which may be easier. If you did work for the owner and get a judgment you will have a lien on the property.

Please feel free to call me if you need a lawyer to assist you.
