This section allows the owners cost of completion to have priority over all other liens including the construction lien and may wipe out all other liens should the cost of completion exceed the other lien amounts. Score one for the innocent owner !!

VA mechanic's liens are quite powerful. However, as astutely pointed out in your other posts here, the requirements are as technical as the tool is strong. Keep up the good work. Scott,

You sure have been busy! VA mechanic’s liens are quite powerful. However, as astutely pointed out in your other posts here, the requirements are as technical as the tool is strong.

Keep up the good work.
