Statement of Account - NH

New HampshireMonthly Notice

we are a material supplier - I need to know if we do not send monthly statement of account on jobs in NH does this preclude us from filing a lien for non-payment? I need to know if it is a REQUIREMENT per state statute. Or please send me the language in the statute. Also do you have a matrix for all states requiring monthly statements be sent to parties up the chain from us? From LEVELSET website: New Hampshire Preliminary Notice Deadlines 30 Days Best Practice: Notice of lien rights served on owner prior to providing labor or materials. Delivery of written account of labor and/or material furnished every 30 days (for the previous 30 days).

New Hampshire Statement of Account requirements

Under New Hampshire mechanics lien laws, the "Statement of Account" requirements can be found under R.S.A.§447:8. This states that: Any person giving notice as provided... shall, as often as once in 30 days, furnish to the owner, or person having charge of the property on which the lien is claimed, an account in writing of the labor performed, professional design services provided, or materials furnished during the 30 days... A Statement of Account needs to be provided every 30 days and can be accomplished by simply sending a detailed monthly invoice. This requirement may be waived by the owner. Furthermore, if no labor or materials were provided in the preceding 30 days, no statement is required. Nor is a statement required if the sub or supplier has already been paid for those labor or materials.

Other states with monthly notice requirements

There are a few other states, three to be exact, that require a monthly notice to secure your mechanics lien rights. Here are some resources for each:

Texas

Louisiana

Tennessee
