A Preliminary Notice of Lien rights is not required in Georgia. A Notice to Contractor, however, is required from a second tier subcontractor (or lower) where
a Notice of Commencement has been recorded for the project, in order to preserve lien rights. If you contracted directly with the Owner or prime
contractor, then a Notice to Contractor will not be required, even if a Notice of Commencement has been recorded for the project.

You do not need a contractual right to file a claim of lien against real property in Georgia. That right is provided by law. Indeed, Georgia law makes void and
unenforceable any prospective waiver of lien rights. So the idea that lien rights can be waived before beginning the work because of the absence of a
contractual clause allowing the lien runs counter to Georgia law.
