Arizona Revised Statutes Title 33. Property § 33-998. Limitation of action to foreclose lien; attorney fees

A. A lien granted under the provisions of this article shall not continue for a longer period than six months after it is recorded, unless action is brought within that period to enforce the lien and a notice of pendency of action is recorded pursuant to § 12-1191 in the office of the county recorder in the county where the property is located. If a lien claimant is made a party defendant to an action brought by another lien claimant, the filing within such period of six months of an answer or cross-claim asserting the lien shall be deemed the commencement of an action within the meaning of this section.

B. In any action to enforce a lien granted under this article, the court may award the successful party reasonable attorney fees.
