The process of filing a lien in Georgia can vary by county. Georgia has very particular statutes on the lien waiver process as well. It is best that you contact a
Real Estate litigation attorney to help you with the process. One mistake could keep you from recovering what you are owed.

You need to check the requirements of the county you are in. There are certain notice requirements and forms depending on who (property
owner/contractor) you are trying to enforce the lien upon. It also depends if the lien will be on real property. Record your lien claim with the recorder’s office
in the county where the property is located. You'll also have to serve the property owner a copy of the lien.

appropriate permits. When you are hiring a sub-contractor (the deck company), you will need to be sure that they are licensed appropriately. Source:
