A guide from Levelset, a company that sells lien and payment-notice services, to the three kinds of lien in North Carolina and how to file a claim of lien on real property: filing with the clerk of superior court in the property's county, serving the owner, and the 120 day filing and 180 day enforcement deadlines that match G.S. 44A-12 and 44A-13. One list in it names the county recorder's office where the statute names the clerk, so use it as a vendor's map and confirm the process with the statutes or a lawyer.
