We did not file a preliminary notice, can I still file a lien in the state of Minnesota?

Minnesota

We are a contractor and I finished the job in Minnesota on August 12, 2021. I am coming close to my 120 days and I would like to file a lien against the property we remodeled. We did not send a preliminary notice at the beginning of the job. We have done several jobs with this customer and never had a problem in the past and did not feel it necessary. However now we are unable to collect our money on the project. Am I still able to file a lien?

The answer depends on a few different factors, I'd be happy to discuss.

If you worked directly with the owner no prelien and file lien within 120 days and foreclose on lien within one year of last efforts. If you lost lien rights you can easily sue them for the debt that is owed.
