LiensNC.com Wins 2014 Standard of Excellence Award

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

New Media Institute (NMI) has awarded a Standard of Excellence honor to the North Carolina Lien Agent System (LiensNC) website, http://liensnc.com.

Each year, NMI acknowledges websites that demonstrate improvement to public understanding of issues surrounding the Internet and other forms of communications. NMI has chosen LiensNC as a 2014 exemplary model of excellence for an online service.

“This award is an honor for the collaborators of LiensNC and for our state,” said Steve Brown, Executive Board President of LiensNC, LLC and Vice President / Title Attorney with Investors Title Insurance Company. “The LiensNC system continues to bring immeasurable value to the land title insurance industry in North Carolina.”

Recognized as an industry leader, LiensNC is a web-based project collaboratively created by NIC Services, LLC, a subsidiary of NIC Inc., and LiensNC, LLC to facilitate the North Carolina mechanics' lien law. With a state construction registry concept in mind, LiensNC provides a mechanism for potential lien claimants to appoint and send notices to their mechanics' lien agent. By doing so, their participation in a construction project is publicized, which gives closing attorneys the ability to address any known potential lien interests at closing. The LiensNC system creates transparency for everyone involved in the project.
