Engineers are entitled to liens. Unlike most other states before you can file a lien you must get a permit from the court. A hearing is then held to determine whether you can move forward with your claim. For a design professional to have a claim some work must be started on the project. If a notice of completion has been filed you have 45 days proceed. If no notice of completion then one year and 45 days.
