Property Ownership

In Colorado, a 'mechanic's lien' priority date typically relates back to:

AThe date the contractor files the lien
BThe date construction or improvements began on the property✓ Correct
CThe date the final invoice was issued
DThe date the property was last sold

Explanation

In Colorado, a mechanic's lien typically relates back in priority to the date visible construction commenced (not the filing date). This can give mechanic's liens priority over later-recorded mortgages, which is why lenders require lien waivers.
