In Utah, a mechanic's lien is a statutory lien that secures payment for contractors, subcontractors, and other individuals and businesses that perform services and provide materials for the construction, improvement or alteration of real property.
The purpose of a mechanic's lien is to protect laborers and individuals providing materials who have added directly to the value of the property of another. Utah's Mechanic's Lien Act, Utah Code § 38-1-1, et seq., is intended to prevent the owner of land from taking the benefits of improvements placed on the land without paying for the labor and materials that went into them.
