Insurance & LiensQuestion 1556 of 1605
On a public works project, subcontractors generally CANNOT record a mechanics lien against the public property. Their principal payment security instead is the:
a.Notice of non-responsibility
b.Builder's risk policy
c.Contractor's payment bond (and stop payment notice against public funds)
d.Owner's homeowner policy
Explanation
Public property cannot be liened, so on public works the payment bond (required under the Little Miller Act framework) and stop payment notices against public funds are the primary payment protections for unpaid subs and suppliers.
