Wyoming Mechanics Lien Form

The Wyoming preliminary notice (specifically the Notice of Right to Lien) is governed by Wyo. Stat. §29-2-11. Under this statute, to secure your right to file a Wyoming mechanics lien, the preliminary notice must be sent to the owner on record or their agent. There is no requirement that a Notice of Right to Lien needs to be filed with the county clerks office. Only sent to that it contains the information required by §29-10-101, and sent within 30 days after the first date the sub or supplier provided labor or materials to the project by certified mail with return receipt requested. (For GCs, the notice must be provided before receiving any payment from the owner). For further reading, see: Wyoming Preliminary Notices Guide

Mechanics lien rights arise as a result of work performed which goes unpaid. So, the party who is ultimately filing a mechanics lien will generally be the party who actually performed the work. Further, since a Notice of Intent to Lien is also sent by the party claiming the mechanics lien - that document will also generally feature the party who performed the actual work on the property. If the work was done under the GC business, then generally, the claimant would be the GC. Or, if the work was done as some other business, then that other business would be the one entitled to lien. But, simply because a project was performed by a company that shares personnel with a second company wouldn't entitle the second company to file a mechanics lien. Instead, it all ties back to who actually performed the work giving rise to the mechanics lien. I hope that information is helpful!
