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 a plumber file a lien
If your contractor filed a timely preliminary notice, and the time to record a notice of lien has not expired, then, yes, your contractor can record a lien. If not, then, no, your contractor cannot record a lien, but still may have a breach of contract claim against you for non-payment. You may also have a breach of contract claim against your contractor for failure to perform all contracted for work. It seems that you and your contractor dispute what was required and what was performed. You either need to come to an agreement with your contractor out of court regarding the amount due (either from you to your contractor, or from your contractor to you), or if you cannot resolve it out of court, then it seems likely that one of you will may bring a lawsuit against the other (which may include breach of contract and/or lien claims), and the court can decide who owes who, and how much.
