I would like to know the difference between a preliminary notice, prelien and notice of intent?

In Nevada, there are three notices that a contractor needs to be aware of in order to perfect their lien rights against a non-paying owner. These are as follows:
(1) A "Notice of Right to Lien": is a notice required by all parties who do not have a contract directly with the owner. This Notice must be given to the owner of the property and general contractor, after first delivering labor or materials to the Property. A party can only seek a lien for payment of labor and materials provided to the Project 31-days prior to giving the notice to the Owner. See NRS 108.245
(2) 15-day Notice of Intent to Lien: This is required for all contractors who want to record a "Notice of Lien" against a residential property. The Notice, needs to have all information required by a "Notice of Lien" and must be served on the owner of the property 15-days prior to recording "Notice of Lien." See NRS 108.226(6) & (7)
(3) Notice of Lien: a Notice of Lien is the document that is recorded at the recorder's office and which gives contractors lien rights against the real property. It must be recorded within 90-days of the last labor or materials being provided to the Project, unless a Notice of Completion is recorded and then the contractor only has 40-days to record. There are more nuances, but this is the general rule. See NRS 108.226.
Hopefully, this is helpful.
