Our Pricing Structure Leads the Industry in Simplicity
You only have so long to file your preliminary notice or mechanics lien. You shouldn’t waste any of that time trying to figure out how much the filing is going to cost you.
Express Lien leads its industry in providing a simple and transparent pricing structure.
Here are two features that distinguish us from the competition:
(1) Our fees are published for you to see, and each product has a single flat fee. This flat fee includes it all – postage, service, delivery, storage of all deliverables online, etc. You’ll never be charged any other amount because of fine print.
(2) Each of our products has a flat fee, and it applies across the country. A mechanic lien cost $295 whether its in Louisiana, Washington, Maine, Georgia, Texas or New York, or anywhere else for that matter.
The more you file, the cheaper we are. You can view our pricing structure on the Pricing Page. Or, check out our Pricing Table below:

Our Pricing Includes All Postage, Fees and Other Expenses
When deciding on a lien and preliminary notice filing company, price is clearly a key concern. One thing you want to investigate is whether prices charged by other lien and notice companies includes the cost of postage, filing fees, courier expenses and other miscellaneous charges.
Nearly every document carries certain expenses. A mechanics lien, for example, has a filing fee ($30-100), the cost of delivery ($5-40), and the cost of delivering notices of the lien to one, two or more parties ($5-25). Notices must be delivered according to statutory specifications, which can cost between $5-10 if sent via ordinary mail, or $30-60 if served personally.
Express Lien’s flat fee pricing is all-inclusive, meaning you pay our low flat fee for a document and nothing else. See our detailed pricing schedule here.
In addition to covering the expenses of each filing, outsourcing your lien, notice and other filing requirements to Express Lien saves your comany time, and provides your company with an independant department that can focus exclusively on your lien and notice needs.

New Low Price – $295 Flat Fee For All Liens
Express Lien, L.L.C. is happy to announce that it has changed its price structure, and all liens are now filed for the low flat rate of just $295.00. The Flat Fee pricing structure is easy, and it’s the lowest priced lien ever offered by the service.
“Now for just $295, a contractor has immediate access to its most powerful collection tool: the construction lien,” says Scott Wolfe, founder of the service. “Filing a lien themselves could cost up to $100 in filing fees. Our service produces a complying document, gets it recorded within three days and sends copies via certified return receipt mail to all interested parties. That data is stored on our servers forever. You can’t beat the value.”
Along with the introduction of the new flat filing fee, the construction lien filing service has recently expanded and now files construction liens in California, Louisiana, Oregon and Washington.
“We’re seeing a high demand for this service,” says Wolfe. “Contractors face non-paying customers all the time, and Express Lien is one of the only professional services that makes liening simple without a membership commitment, and with no frills.”
The company’s slogan is Lien Smarter, and executive Doug Reiser explains that it’s exactly what Express Lien clients do: “Lien statutes are hyper-technical and require contractors to follow formatting rules to the letter. It just makes sense to let a professional service do that. And for only $295, its worth the investment on almost any debt.”
Indeed, each state has its own formatting and lien content rules, and the cost of an inaccurate lien can be the validity of the lien itself. Express Lien uses your submitted data to properly format a lien for your project’s jurisdiction.
The service looks to expand into Mississipi, Illinois, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico within the next couple of weeks.
