Is it too late to file a lien on a home construction completed in the summer of 2020?

South Carolina

I am a contractor who finished a new home construction in the summer of 2020. I still have not received the final draw from the owner. Is it too late to file a lien?

In South Carolina, mechanics' liens have to be filed and served within 90 days of the last date of work, which can be extended with the performance of legitimate warranty or punch work.


The next deadline is foreclosing on the lien by filing suit within 6 months of the last date of work.
