Mechanic's Liens Outside The United States
Countries that recognize mechanic's liens often provide for very different rights and procedures than those of the United States.
Some provinces of Canada (including Quebec) and New Zealand recognize a process somewhat analogous to a mechanic's lien. The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador allows for liens similar to those of the United States.
With the exception of Mexico, mechanic's liens are generally not recognized throughout Latin America.
Some countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, specifically prohibit the lien, except where voluntarily undertaken.
