Eligibility for Filing a Mechanics Lien Claim in Missouri

Several parties possess the right to file a mechanics lien in Missouri, including general contractors, subcontractors, laborers, material suppliers, equipment lessors, and design professionals such as landscaping providers. It should be noted that equipment lessors are only permitted to file a lien for commercial projects where the claim exceeds $5,000.

For owner-occupied residential projects with four units or fewer, only those who contracted directly with the owner-occupier may file a mechanics lien. An exception is made if the owner signs a Consent of Owner, which allows unpaid subcontractors and suppliers to file mechanics liens.

Deadline for Filing a Lien Claim

Mechanics lien claims must be filed within six months from the last date labor was performed or materials were delivered to the project. The calculation of this deadline should be based on the date of substantial completion of the contracted work. Work performed under warranty after substantial completion may not qualify as performing work or delivering materials for the purpose of this deadline.
