Contractors and subcontractors must file suit to enforce a mechanics lien within two years of the last date of work. Note that the owner has the option to accelerate this deadline if the owner disputes the contractors or subcontractors entitlement to additional payment.
Per a 2016 amendment to the Illinois Mechanics Lien Act, the state developed a statutory process for the interested buyer to obtain a surety bond for the amount of the lien, effectively removing it by proving you have the means to pay it at a later time. This process is known as bonding over the lien, or bonding off.
The deadline for contractors and subcontractors to file their statement of mechanics lien is four months (not 120 days) from the last date of work (exclusive of warranty work or other work performed free of charge), or from the last date that materials were supplied to the project.
