Get help filing your Colorado Mechanics Lien
A mechanics lien is a powerful tool to help contractors and suppliers get paid for their work. This Colorado Statement of Mechanics Lien Form is for subcontractors and suppliers who have not been paid for services, labor, materials, equipment, or other construction services performed on a job. If you’re a sub or supplier and looking to file a Colorado mechanics lien, there are two general requirements.
- Subcontractors and suppliers are required to send a Notice of Intent to Lien at least 10 days before filing the lien. An affidavit proving the Notice of Intent to lien was sent to the property owner must also be included when filing a lien with the County Recorder. Not sending a Notice of Intent Lien may mean an invalid lien.
- The mechanics lien must be filed within 120 days of last delivering labor or materials. If only labor was performed on the job (and not materials) a subcontractor or supplier has 2 months to file a mechanics lien in Colorado.
Before you start: Read the step-by-step guide to filing a Colorado mechanics lien.
This form meets the requirements set forth in at Colorado Revised Statutes, §38-22-101 through §38-22-133 as enacted by the Colorado legislature.
Not a subcontractor or supplier? Use a different form
Although many of the deadlines and rules are similar for General Contractors, subcontracts, and suppliers, Colorado is one of the few states that has a specific Statement of Mechanics Lien form for subs and suppliers, and another mechanics lien form for General Contractors. Not using the correct mechanics lien form may mean a rejected lien from the County Recorder or an invalid lien if challenged in court.

Contractors have 4 months from the last furnishing of labor, materials and/or services to file their Statement of Lien. This 4 months period has expired, and its time to file the Lien. YOU MAY IGNORE THIS DEADLINE IF YOU FILED A NOTICE TO EXTEND TIME IN WHICH TO FILE A LIEN
After completing the Colorado Statement of Mechanics Lien Form (for Subs & Suppliers) Form, you must deliver it to the appropriate parties required by statute. Notices are typically served on the property owner and, for sub-tier parties, the general contractor. However, depending on the type of notice, it can be helpful to send notices to anyone else who is in charge of your payment, like a lender or surety company on the project.

Can I file a mechanics lien?
I am sorry about the issues. You need to hire an attorney as
if you were put on title, you cannot be removed (“investor ended up taking the
property, transfering title to just him ….”) absent your consent so I have no
idea how you would no longer be a co-owner.
The right to lien relates to goes to anyone who qualifies to
be file a lien under the statute, such as contractors and superintendents. To
have a lien on the basis of superintendence on the site, your role must be to
see that the labor was properly applied to the material. If you provided labor,
that is lienable. The fact that you were, apparently, at some point a co-owner
does not negate the lien right. Again, the key is whether you can claim a lien
and your role as project manager would need to be reviewed a bit more by an
attorney. If you are a proper party to file a lien, you must do it separately.
You are not related to your contractor’s work, at least under your limited facts.
AS to the second question, you could be the GC but your attorney
will want more facts and the contract to determine that.
Reach out and get a consultation with an attorney soon. Most
of us offer free initial consultation. You may have many more claims than
merely a lien right. Moreover, as to your lien, the lien filing and the process
must be perfect or that lien may be invalid.
Can I file a mechanics lien?
This is loaded with extraneous issues that need to be discussed. But, the short answer is if you provide labor or materials for the improvement of real property, you have the right to lien that property in the event of nonpayment. If you're an owner, you can voluntarily encumber your interest in a property (for instance, a mortgage or similar security interest), so long as there isn't some kind of agreement among any co-owners that you won't, and so long as you're not filing spurious documents simply to jam up the works.
I have no idea what you mean regarding the disagreement with investors/owners and the investor's ability to simply take the property. That needs to be explored in greater detail. I imagine a review of the relevant documents would be required to get a handle on all of the potential issues here. Feel free to call my office to discuss. 7205007855.
