No.
The first step in protecting your unpaid invoices is to determine whether the Property where you provided labor, materials, equipment, or services is owned by a Public Entity or a privately held company or individual. The process that you will follow to enforce your claim is different depending upon the answer to this question. You cannot file a Lien against a Property owned by a Public Entity, like the federal government, the state, a county, municipality, or a city. These Properties are commonly referred to as “Public Properties.” Some examples of Public Properties include schools, libraries, highways, parks, and government buildings. As a substitute to a Lien, unpaid Subcontractors, Material Suppliers, Architects, Engineers, and Laborers have the right to assert a claim against the General Contractor’s Payment Bond. The process is referred to as making a “Payment Bond Claim.”
In contrast, if you provided labor, materials, equipment or services to a privately owned Property and have not been paid, then go to the Lien Library to learn more about your right to file a Lien against the Property. Some examples of privately owned Properties generally include private residences, apartment complexes, office buildings, shopping centers, and restaurants.
