In Colorado, a Notice of Intent to Lien must be mailed at least 10 days before a mechanics lien can be filed. And, to be sure, the lien rights of the project location is what matters. At least when it comes to lien rights, the locations of the businesses involved in the project are mostly irrelevant. In terms of deadlines, a Notice of Intent must be mailed at least 10 days before a lien can be filed, and sending a Notice of Intent won't extend the lien deadline. Meaning, a Colorado Notice of Intent to Lien requires some planning. You can learn all about the notice here: Colorado Notice of Intent FAQs & Guide. As for the Colorado mechanics lien deadline - generally, that will be 4 months after  materials were last furnished to the project property. And, if that deadline is closing in, it might be a good idea to go ahead and send a Notice of Intent sooner than later if you want to preserve lien rights.
