Important Case Guidance - Tennessee
A decision handed down by the Tennessee Court of Appeals in Williamson County Ready Mix, Inc. v. Pulte Homes Tennessee Limited Partnership, No. M2007-COA-R3-CV, at *5-*7 (Tenn. Ct. App. Dec. 15, 2008); T.C.A. 66-11-112; T.C.A. 66-11-118(b) has clarified what a material supplier must do to perfect a lien on a project where multiple units are involved. The court determined that “where a materialman provides materials used in the construction of multiple townhome units, the lienor is required to apportion its lien and perfect a lien for each townhome unit; a ’blanket lien’ on a townhome building is not effective and does not give priority against subsequent purchasers and encumbrances of separate townhome units.”
