Can i file a lien if I didnt file a preliminary notice?

Iowa

I am a property manager and the owner of a property that we managed is refusing to pay some bills that was upfronted by our company I wouldn't have filed a preliminary notice. I didn't know she wouldn't pay. Can you file the notice after services have been terminated?

Hi Christy, thank you reaching out.

Unfortunately, Mechanics Liens are only valid if there was material or labor provided on a construction project. I'm not sure what your situation is, however, here are the Lien Rights and Rules for Iowa 

Please let me know if I can help any further. Thank you!
