Rules and regulations for sending a Utah Mechanics Lien
If a Notice of Completion is filed on the project, all construction liens must be filed by any party within 90 days from the date the Notice of Completion is filed. If a Notice of Completion is not filed, the lien period will be extended to 180 days from the completion of the project.
Even when a Notice of Completion is filed on a project, contractors and suppliers must be aware of the 180 days period from the completion of the project. If the 90 day period is later than the 180 days period, the 180 day period applies.
After completing the Utah 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.

Can the fence contractor file a lien against me?
A preliminary notice is a prerequisite to a construction lien. No preliminary notice = no lien rights. However, a preliminary notice is not required for a contractor to sue for breach of contract, so that is an action your contractor could take against you, in which case you would have the opportunity to present your case as well.
What is the process to file a valid lien in Utah?
I would recommend reaching out to a construction lien attorney or a construction lien filing service for assistance. lienutah.com
Can I still file a mechanics lien?
A preliminary notice in Utah is strictly required prior to filing a mechanics lien. Failure to provide notice is fatal to a subcontractor's mechanics lien rights in Utah.
Ideally, this notice should be filed with the Utah State Construction Registry within 20 days of first providi ng labor and/or materials to the project. A late notice can still be effective, but will only protect the value of labor and/or materials provided in the 5 days prior to the recording of the notice, and everything thereafter. Lastly, a notice cannot be filed any later than 10 days after a Notice of Completion is filed on the pro ject.
That being said, if the notice wasn't properly provided, then a mechanics lien is no longer an option. However, that doesn't mean you don't have any legal recourse to recover payment.
