Bond Penalty: Twice amount of the lien

Controversies between contractors and property owners are common. State laws grant contractors and materials suppliers certain rights to lien project property when a debt is due to them. Fortunately there are mechanisms available to unencumber parcels of real property. A Kentucky mechanic's lien release bond is an appropriate instrument for speedy resolution of an encumbrance.

Pursuant to KS 376.100, The owner of property against which a lien has been filed or any contractor or other person contracting with the owner for the completion of any improvements or services for which a lien is created or any subcontractor or other person in privity with the contractor, may file a Kentucky lien discharge bond with the county clerk in which the lien was recorded. The surety bond must be filed before any judgment on the matter has been rendered by a competent court of law. The lien release bond must be executed in an amount double the amount of the lien claimed and by 'good sureties' which must be approved by the clerk. The surety bond obligation is conditioned upon the obligors satisfying any judgment that may be rendered in favor of the lienholder. The bond must be retained by the clerk and upon its delivery, the clerk must discharge the lien. The lienholder may thereafter name the filer and surety as parties to any action to enforce his or her lien claim. Any judgment recovered may be against all or any of the obligors on the bond.
