The National Lien Digest©

The laws that deal with mechanic’s liens are often complex and confusing.

The National Lien Digest© is an easy-to-use guide to mechanic’s lien and bond claim laws in the U.S. and Canada. It simplifies the complicated process of filing notices, mechanic’s liens and bond claims in an easy-to-understand reference guide.

It has become the industry standard – serving more than 35,000 credit professionals.

The National Lien Digest© is available in U.S., Canadian or custom editions. For each state, province and territory, we research and compile the statutes to concisely lay out the timetables for action.

No guesswork – it’s spelled out in an easy-to-understand format. The information is centrally located and updated in real time.
