Have your Say on the Proposed Regulations for the NWT Builders’ Lien Act
February 14, 2025
The GNWT is modernizing the legal framework for construction liens. In 2023, the Builders’ Lien Act was enacted to replace the Mechanics Lien Act. The new legislation was put in place to address modern construction practices. It sets out the legal processes, systems, rights, and remedies for parties involved in construction disputes.
The GNWT is now working to identify and develop the regulations needed to bring the Builders’ Lien Act into force. These regulations will establish standard forms for workers and organizations that rely upon this legal system. In addition, these regulations will set out the various financial limits and thresholds for various provisions of the Act.
NWT residents are invited to review the proposed Builders’ Lien Act regulations and submit comments by March 13, 2025.
