In which location must a construction lien be recorded?

City hall
County recorder's office
State treasury
Federal court

The correct answer is: County recorder's office

A construction lien must be recorded in the county recorder's office because this is the entity responsible for maintaining property records, including liens on real property. The lien must be properly filed to provide public notice that a claim has been made against the property due to unpaid work or materials supplied. Recording the lien in the county's official records is crucial as it establishes priority and protects the rights of the contractor or supplier. This public filing helps to inform future buyers or lenders about the existing claims against the property, ensuring transparency in property transactions. The other options are not suitable for recording construction liens. City hall typically deals with local municipal matters rather than property records. The state treasury does not handle real estate liens, and federal court is unrelated to local property lien recording, given that construction liens are primarily a matter of state law.
