Please
note that on April 11, 2014, Mississippi enacted a new lien law that extends
lien rights to subcontractors, materials suppliers, and sub-subcontractors and
material suppliers to subcontractors (http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/2014/pdf/SB/2600-2699/SB2622SG.pdf). The new law also
has a much shorter "window" within which to file a lien and suit to
enforce a lien. Finally, the new law includes owner defenses and statutory
lien waivers.
A
revised Mississippi chapter will be available soon. We will notify you as soon as the updated
chapter is posted.
