Is a preliminary notice required in GA? If one was not sent, do we still have lien rights on this project? Please provide more detail. Thanks
A Preliminary Notice of Lien rights is not required in Georgia. A Notice to Contractor, however, is required from a second tier subcontractor (or lower) where a Notice of Commencement has been recorded for the project, in order to preserve lien rights. If you contracted directly with the Owner or prime contractor, then a Notice to Contractor will not be required, even if a Notice of Commencement has been recorded for the project.
