I'm a material supplier who filed a mechanic's lien in Virginia due to non payment from the subcontractor. The GC is now wanting the lien removed and the subcontractor has paid. We issued a lien release but the GC is asking the subcontractor to remove the lien from the county. How is that done?
The lien release has to be recorded in the land records of the county where the mechanic's lien was recorded.
