Does a lien expire in Canada?

The lien period expires 45 days after the applicable trigger and the holdback period expires 10 days after that. Holdback funds must therefore not be paid until 55 days after the applicable trigger event.

How long does a lien stay on your property in Canada?

Each province has different rules about the time limit of a lien. In Alberta, for example, your lien is valid for 180 days from the date the lien was placed. In Ontario, liens are only valid for 90 days from the date of last on site working.

How do liens work in BC?

In B.C., a lien can be registered against personal property as security to make sure a debt or loan is repaid. The lien is a registered legal claim on personal property owned by an individual or a business.

How long does a lien last in BC?

Generally, you have one year from the date of filing your lien to both commence a civil action, and file a certification of pending litigation (CPL), or the lien is extinguished.

What happens when a lien expires?

While an expired lien will no longer be valid and enforceable (and thus has lost its effectiveness as a tool to help remedy a payment issue), it still may remain attached to the underlying property. This is due to the fact that a mechanics lien claim is filed with the clerk of court or the county recorder.
