    Does a construction lien prevent the sale of property in the state of Michigan?
    I recently discovered that a cottage I worked on will be sold for back taxes on April 1 in the state of Michigan. Will a construction lien prevent the sale?

    No - another lien will just add to the creditors who get paid. In what order or in what proportion depends on locale, so you need to ask the tax dept. Taxes will probably be paid off first. Did you file a lien? Will it be sold that day, or just put up for sale then?

    You know, this is NOT REALLY a tax question, but rather a LEGAL question best posted in the LAW Forum.

    You should consult a Michigan attorney to determine whether your construction lien survives tax foreclosure. For more on the Michigan Construction lien, you might want to look here. The text of the Construction Lien Act is set out here.
