Rules and regulations for sending a Idaho Mechanics Lien
Claim of Lien must be filed within 90 days from last furnishing labor and/or materials to the project. This deadline marks the end of this 90-day period, and your lien is now due.
After completing the Idaho Mechanics Lien 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.

How to dispute a lien?
A contractor must record a construction lien within 90 days of its last day of non-trivial work. That said, a contractor you hire can sue you for breach of contract for up to five years after the contract is/was breached. Removing the lien will not eliminate your obligation to pay for the work. The lien will be invalid if the contractor doesn't file a lawsuit to foreclose it within 6 months of the date it is filed but it will still remain of record and could cause issues if you ever decide to sell.
There is a statutory process to remove a lien and substitute a bond in its place. However, the only way to forcibly remove a lien is through a quiet title action.
Given that you're not disputing you owe the money, the best way to resolve this is to locate the contractor and pay it what it is owed in exchange for a release of lien.

How to I dispute an invalid lean on my property?
If a contractor records an invalid lien you can file a lawsuit to quiet title and have the lien released. Alternatively, you can wait to see if the contractor files a lawsuit to foreclose the lien and then file a counterclaim for quiet title if the contractor does so. The contractor must file a lien foreclosure suit within 6 months of the date the lien was recorded or the lien is invalid.
