Las Vegas Property Leins

A lien on Las Vegas property is a claim by one person on the property of another as security for money owed. Such claims may include obligations not met or satisfied, judgments, unpaid taxes, materials, or labor.

There are three types of recordable liens a homeowner should be aware of.

The first is called a "Mechanics Lien" is recorded by someone who is furnishing labor or materials for a particular construction job.

The second is a "Government Lien" that is recorded by a government agency because the owner failed to pay personal, business, or real property taxes.

The third type of lien is a creditor's claim or charge against the debtor's real property.

A lien binds a specified piece of Las Vegas property, unlike a general lien, that is levied against all of one's assets. It creates a right to retain something of value belonging to another person as compensation for labor, material, or money expended in that person's behalf. In some parts of the country it is commonly referred to as "particular" lien or "Specific Lien".

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) applies to any transaction intended to create a security interest in personal property. This interest can be considered as a lien on personal property. For example, purchases such as buying furniture through a finance company could be secured by using furniture, a boat, or accounts receivable of a business as collateral for the loan.

A related recorded document reverses the original action for almost all types of documents that place a liability on Las Vegas land. It may be referred to as a dismissal, rescission, termination, or cancellation.
