Terms Used In Missouri Laws 431.183

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.

Any provision in a contract, agreement or understanding that provides that a payment from a contractor to a subcontractor, trade contractor, specialty contractor or supplier is contingent or conditioned upon receipt of a payment from any other private party, including a private owner, is no defense to a claim to enforce a mechanic’s lien pursuant to the provisions of chapter 429.
