Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

30 days

Answer A is incorrect because Ohio doesn't use a uniform 30-day deadline for mechanic's liens. This timeframe is too short for either residential or commercial properties under Ohio law.

B

60 days

Answer B is incorrect because while 60 days is the correct deadline for commercial properties, it's too short for residential properties, which have a longer 75-day deadline in Ohio.

C

75 days for residential, 60 days for commercial

Correct Answer
D

6 months

Answer D is incorrect because Ohio's deadlines are significantly shorter than 6 months. This timeframe might apply in some states for other types of liens, but not for mechanic's liens in Ohio.

Why is this correct?

Answer C is correct because Ohio law specifically differentiates between residential and commercial properties for mechanic's lien filing deadlines, requiring 75 days for residential and 60 days for commercial properties after the last work is performed.
