Finally watching your New Lien Rights in GA webinar by Mark Cobb. 1. If you don't get paid in 60/90 days, could you be tricky: issue a credit for that bill then rebill, so the date is less than 60/ 90days days? 2. My contractor business sits in GA, but we do business in many states. What lien law applies? The state where the PROJECT is located, or the state where WE are located? Do I need to learn the lien laws of all 50 states? Thank you for your time!
No, you cannot revise the dates through trickery. The 90-day period begins to run upon completion of your work. Sometimes it can become an issue whether the last work performed was meaningful or simply minor punchlist, but the time period is not based on the date of your invoice. However, you can always file suit on your contract.
