Eligibility for Filing a Mechanics Lien in South Carolina
In South Carolina, any person or firm that provides labor and/or materials for the construction, alteration, or repair of a structure, or for the improvement of real property, is entitled to mechanics lien protection. This includes general contractors, subcontractors, laborers, design professionals, landscapers (for services exceeding $5,000), surveyors, and equipment lessors.
