How long do you have to file a lien in Virginia?

Record the memorandum of lien no later than 90 days from the last day of the month of your last labor or materials, and no later than 90 days after the building is completed or the work otherwise ends.

Statute: Va. Code § 43-4

Notice deadlines before the lien, and the lawsuit deadline after it, are on the Virginia page. Those dates depend on who hired you and the kind of property.

Virginia mechanics' lien agent notice: 30 days

This answer is the Virginia rule only. Lien deadlines are different in every state.

This is general information, not legal advice. Rules change. Check the current statute or ask a construction attorney in that state before you rely on a date. Job Clock does not file liens, mail notices, pull permits, or give legal advice.
