Introduction

Under Arkansas law, the materialmen's lien attaches not only to the subject of the contract but also to the land on which it rests. Every contractor, subcontractor or material supplier who supplies labor, services, materials, fixtures, engines, boilers or machinery for construction or repair may claim a lien. In addition, every architect, engineer, surveyor, appraiser, abstractor, title insurance agent or person providing landscaping services or supplies who is under written contract with the owner or the owner's agent may claim a lien; however, these liens attach only after the lien is properly filed.
