Prince Edward Island - Mechanics' Lien - Regular Service

Mechanics’ liens in Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.): you are eligible to file a lien a property if you have provided work or services, or furnished materials to be used for an improvement done for an owner, contractor or sub-contractor. Your lien rights begin as soon as you have first provided your services or materials to a job site.

Filing a mechanic’s lien lets both your customer and the property owner know you are serious about getting paid. Once a lien is registered, it will hold up the release of any funds (i.e. project draws) and it can prevent the sale or transfer of the property.

In P.E.I. you have 60 days from the date last on site, date of last supply, or date of abandonment to file a Mechanics’ lien.

If your claim is between day 1 to day 54 of the lien deadline then use the online form below.

If your claim is between day 55 to day 60 of the lien deadline then use our online rush form for Rush – PEI Mechanics Lien Filing.

If you are unsure how many days you have left until your lien deadline, use our Lien filing date calculator

To file a lien you must have:

  • Address, legal description or GPS coordinates of job location
  • Your customer’s name and address
  • Short description of work or materials provided
  • Date last on site or date of last supply
  • Total amount owing for project

Your lien is valid for 90 days from the date your lien is registered. After 90 days, your lien will expire unless you have commenced legal action to perfect your claim prior to expiry.
