Charles White's website shows you how. Follow it to the letter, because if you don't, you don't have a lien and will have to rely strictly on collecting a judgment without real estate to look to.

There's a very big difference between being in position to file a lien on commercial property and filing a lien on someone's homestead. There a many contractual hoops you'll have to go through to lien a homestead, and that has to be done before you start any work or order materials.
