Another day, another Zlien.com/blog post about deadlines.  This time, we're taking a look at Montana.

Montana is interesting in that there are two potential time periods in which a mechanic's lien must be filed, as set forth by statute.  According to Montana Code, a construction lien must be filed no later than 90 days after 1) the lien claimant's last furnishing of labor or materials to the project, or 2) the property owed files a Notice of Completion.  The fact that there are two possible lien periods can provide confusion, especially since the failure to timely file the lien will result in the lien being invalid.
