Can I file a Pre Lien in Gilbert Az ?

ArizonaConstruction ContractLien Deadlines

I am the GC owner of my company. The residential customer signed a contract on 12-16-2021 and we started 12-22-2021. Customer paid me my final check on my last day of work 1-03-2022 for completing the roof repairs. ( She asked me to come back and touch up some paint areas which has not been completed. I asked her to keep communications open with me - which se didn't. I was asked to hold the check until she transferred funds, so I waited over a week. She was not answering my calls or texts messages so I deposited the check with warnings in my texts we need to move forward and deposit the check. On 1-10- 2022 I deposited the check which took two days for it to be rejected due to insufficient funds. I / Levelset filed the application with a rush on the pre-lien 1-12-2022. I needed to change the date of completion to 1-03-2022 which I tried today...Levelset Lien # 6536911. I ok with this concern with the dates?

This section is to have legal questions answered by lawyers. So I can't help with the mechanics of the preliminary 20-day notice. If you send a copy of the notice I would be better able to answer questions. It sounds like you have a concern about the date of completion as it appears on the preliminary 20-day notice. That date is important for the recording of the lien. It is not one of the key pieces of information for a preliminary 20-day notice. I hope that answers your question. Please keep in mind, the lien will only secure payment for work performed 20 days before the mailing of the notice. So if you had the notice mailed on 1/12/22, the amount owed will NOT be fully secured by the lien. Only money owed for work done from 12/23/21 and after will be secured by a mechanic's lien. Sounds like you started on 12/22, so this should not make a huge difference. But it is something to be aware of.

For questions on how you ordered the preliminary notice or perhaps amending it, you need to contact Levelset directly and talk to customer service rather than posting in this section.
