What state would the lien be based on

MarylandMechanics Lien

If I use a company to buy materials from for a project but I physically go to their location to pick up the material and they wanted to file a lien on me for not paying the invoice on time. Would that be based on the state their store is in and where I went to get the material or would that be based on the state my project is in. I did not provide a project address to them and they did not physically go there.

Any such lien would be based on the project for which the materials were intended in the jurisdiction where the project was located. States differ in terms of the claimant being required and/or able to demonstrate that the materials picked up at the Seller's place of busness were actually incorporated into the project (versus used elsewhere), so without more facts that is about as far as I can go.
