Miss. Code Ann. § 85-7-507: When lien attaches to commercial real estate.

A lien authorized by this article attaches to the commercial real estate only when the lien claimant files a timely notice of the lien in the office of the chancery clerk in the county in which the commercial real estate is located. A notice of lien is timely if it is filed after the claimant’s performance under the written agreement for broker services and before the conveyance or transfer of the commercial real estate that is the subject of the lien, except in cases where payments of compensation are due in installments or upon renewal. When payment of compensation to a broker is due in installments or upon renewal under the written agreement for broker services, a portion of which is due or may become due after the conveyance or transfer of the commercial real estate, a single claim for a lien filed before transfer or conveyance of the commercial real estate claiming all compensation due in installments or upon renewal shall be valid and enforceable for a period of one (1) year from the date of filing as it pertains to payments due after the transfer or conveyance; however, as payments or partial payments of compensation are received, the broker shall provide partial releases for those payments, thereby reducing the amount due the broker under the broker’s lien. The notice of single claim for a lien may be renewed for a period of one (1) year by the filing of a renewal notice meeting the requirements of this article before the expiration of the expiring notice, and may be likewise renewed from year to year so long as installments of compensation or renewal compensation are due. Notwithstanding any notice of single claim for a lien filed, when payment of compensation to a broker is due in installments or contingent upon renewals under the written agreement for broker services, a portion of which is or would be due after the conveyance or transfer of the commercial real estate, any notice of lien for those payments due or becoming due after the transfer or conveyance may be recorded after the transfer or conveyance of the commercial real estate and within ninety (90) days of the date on which the payment is due; in that case the lien shall be effective as a lien against the transferee’s interest in the commercial real estate as of the date filed and, in the case of a lease or transfer of a nonfreehold interest, the lien shall be effective as a lien against the owner’s interest in the commercial real estate as of the date filed.
