A material supplier provides $28,000 worth of materials to a project. Under NRS 108, what is the deadline for filing a mechanic's lien if the project was completed on August 30th?
Correct Answer
C) November 28th
Material suppliers must file mechanic's liens within 90 days of project completion under NRS 108. August 30th + 90 days = November 28th.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 108, material suppliers must file a mechanic's lien within 90 days of project completion. When calculating from August 30th, counting 90 days forward brings us to November 28th. This is the absolute deadline for filing the lien to preserve the supplier's rights to secure payment for the $28,000 in materials provided.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: October 30th
October 30th represents only 61 days from the August 30th completion date, which falls short of the required 90-day filing period under NRS 108. This would result in an untimely filing and loss of lien rights.
Option B: November 30th
November 30th exceeds the 90-day deadline by 2 days, making it 92 days from project completion. Filing after the statutory deadline would invalidate the mechanic's lien and forfeit the supplier's security interest.
Option D: September 30th
September 30th is only 31 days from the August 30th completion date, which is far too early and doesn't utilize the full 90-day period allowed under Nevada law for filing mechanic's liens.
Memory Technique
Remember '90 Days to Save' - material suppliers have exactly 90 days from project completion to file their mechanic's lien in Nevada, or they lose their security rights forever.
