AGENCY: Washington County (Utah). County Recorder

SERIES: 84264
TITLE: Liens
DATES: 1908-1967.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological

DESCRIPTION: The documents in this series relate to two general types of liens: mechanic's liens and public welfare liens. Mechanic's liens are claims against real property to secure just payment for labor, services of materials provided to a property owner. Posting notice and recording the lien with the county recorder provided notice to other potential claimants and prompted the court to hear and act upon the claims (Utah Code, Annotated, 1953, 38-1-1 to 38-1-26). Public welfare liens are claims against the real property of individuals on public welfare in order to secure reimbursement for funds advanced to them. Public welfare liens are collectable only at the property owner's death or the sale of his property.
