Alberta Certificate of Lis Pendens under Builders Lien Act

Alberta contractors, if you are starting legal action against a property owner under the Builders Lien Act, you need to register a Certificate of Lis Pendens against the property.

• The Certificate of Lis Pendens (or CLP) gives notice to any mortgagee, encumbrancee or potential purchaser that there is a pending legal action which affects title to the property.
• You must file the CLP first in Court of Queen's Bench and then in the Land Titles Office.
