If you are the lien claimant and the property owner or a contractior has filed and served upon you a Notice of Contest of Lien, the 12-month period in which to file your lawsuit to perfect the lien is shortended. This means you must file your lawsuit to perfect the lien within 60 days of your receipt of the Notice of Contest of Lien. If you fail to meet this timeline, your lien with be extinguished.
