 For residential construction a Notice of Unpaid Balance and Right to File Lien (NUB) must be filed within 60 days following the date the lien claimant last performed work or supplied services, material, or equipment to the residential real property for which payment is claimed. The lien claim must be filed no later than ten days following any arbitration decision or within 120 days following the last date the lien claimant performed work or provided services, materials, or equipment according to a written residential construction contract.
