Who Can File a Mechanics Lien Under Hawaii Law?
Hawaii law grants the right to file a mechanics lien to a wide range of construction professionals and participants. This includes general contractors, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, suppliers, laborers, architects, engineers, and other design professionals. However, for architects and design professionals, lien rights are only applicable if their work is actually incorporated into the construction project.
It is important to note that if Hawaii state law requires a party to be licensed to conduct business, any unlicensed party will not be entitled to lien rights.
Mechanics Lien Filing Deadlines
To preserve lien rights, it is essential to adhere to the strict deadlines set by Hawaii law. A mechanics lien must be filed within 45 days of the completion of the improvements to the property.
If a Notice of Completion is filed, the date on this notice is considered the official completion date for calculating the 45-day filing window.
In the absence of a Notice of Completion, the project is deemed complete one year after its substantial completion, and this date is used to determine the filing deadline.
