In New Hampshire, liens filed on private property or on funds relating to a public project are known as New Hampshire Mechanic's Liens. When a New Hampshire mechanics lien is filed with regard to work performed on privately owned property, it attaches to and encumbers the fee simple ownership of property. When a New Hampshire mechanics lien is filed with regard to work performed on a publicly or government owned property, it attaches to the fund of money which the public agency has allocated for a project. The reason for this is that you cannot force the sale of publicly owned land (public agencies mean any county, city, town, township, public commission, public board or other municipality authorized by law to make contracts for the making of any public improvement in any city, town, township or other municipality).

Pre-lien notices are required in New Hampshire: both a Notice of Furnishing and an Account of Work Performed must be sent at various times. Subcontractors, including those who contract with or supply to direct subcontractors, are entitled to claim a New Hampshire mechanics lien provided he gives written notice to the owner or the person having charge of the property that he shall claim a New Hampshire mechanics lien before performing labor or furnishing materials. While a New Hampshire mechanics lien does not attach until the Notice of Furnishing required by the statute is provided to the owner, a subcontractor may provide notice after the labor or materials are supplied, making the mechanics' lien valid to the extent of sums due or to the contractor. For subcontractors to fully protect themselves and claim their liens, every 30 days the subcontractor must provide to the owner or person having charge of the property on which the New Hampshire mechanics lien is claimed, an Account of Work Performed during the preceding 30 days.

New Hampshire mechanics liens on private property must be filed within 120 days of the last date the lienor provided materials or services to the Project. LienItNow does not process New Hampshire private mechanics liens because they must be filed as a lawsuit with a court. 

Mechanics' liens with regard to public projects can be filed at any time before the completion and acceptance of a public improvement, but no later than 90 days following completion and acceptance of the public project by the state or the public corporation.

LienItNow.com prepares and serves New Hampshire Stop Notices.  A Stop Notice is a notification that has the ability to enhance the effectiveness of a mechanic's lien. A Stop Notice, or a notice to withhold funds, is sent to the company that is financing or funding the construction funds for a project. Once that company receives the Stop Notice, that company has notice that it should withhold sufficient money to satisfy the stop notice claim. The purpose of the Stop Notice is to provide the lender, financiers or funders of the construction project notice that there is money owed to a contractor, subcontractor or supplier so that an inquiry can be made as to why that money is not being paid.

All lien claims expire after a certain period of time, and filing an extension of the mechanics' lien claim prolongs the expiration date.  New Hampshire law, however, does not permit an extension of mechanics' lien claims.

LienItNow.com prepares, files and serves New Hampshire Bond Claims.  Bond claims can only be filed on a project where the owner, contractor or subcontractor has obtained a payment bond to ensure that every contractor receives payment for the work performed on the Project.  The payment bonds issued by sureties for construction projects have specific timing requirements, but most require claimants to submit claims against the bond within sixty to ninety days from the claimants' last date of work.  Bond claims are more effective than a lien claim because the payment bond acts as a guarantee that payment will be made for work properly completed.
