A Nevada contractor completes work valued at $85,000 on March 15th. Under NRS 108, what is the deadline for filing a mechanic's lien if no notice of completion is recorded?
Correct Answer
D) September 15th
Under NRS 108.226, a mechanic's lien must be filed within 6 months after completion of work when no notice of completion is recorded.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Under NRS 108.226, when no notice of completion is recorded by the owner, a prime contractor has 6 months from the date of completion to file a mechanic's lien. March 15th + 6 months = September 15th.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: June 15th
June 15th is exactly 3 months after March 15th — this corresponds to the 90-day rule in some contexts, but the question specifically asks about the scenario where no notice of completion is recorded, which triggers the 6-month (180-day) period.
Option B: May 15th
May 15th is only 2 months after March 15th, which corresponds to the 60-day window for subcontractors when a notice of completion HAS been recorded — not the applicable rule here.
Option C: March 15th of the following year
March 15th of the following year would be 12 months — there is no 1-year lien filing window under NRS 108 in this context.
Memory Technique
No notice = more time. Think of it as the owner's job to record the notice; if they don't do their part, the contractor gets a longer window — 6 months (September for a March completion).
