TennesseeNotice of Intent to LienPreliminary Notice
Anonymous General Contractor

We sent an Intent to file Lien 10 Day notice to the email on file. Does that count as the required preliminary notice?

A Notice of Intent to Lien generally won't fulfill the requirements of some other notice. So, if a Notice to Owner (generally only for GC's) or if a Notice of Nonpayment (a monthly notice for unpaid parties) was required - relying on a Notice of Intent to Lien to serve as that required notice is not a good idea. Conceivably, it's possible that a Notice of Intent might fulfill potential Notice of Nonpayment requirements if it was sent in accordance with the Notice of Nonpayment deadline (more on that here) and if it contained all the necessary information. But again - that's not what a Notice of Intent to Lien is designed to do, and relying on that to fulfill other requirements would be risky business.
