I'm filing a lien on your website and it's asking for the date of substantial completion. My company left the project in September but I know they were still on the job in December. If I'm no longer in contact with the GC how should I proceed?
Arizona law provides that a subcontractor/supplier has 120 days to record a mechanic’s lien from the date of “completion.” Completion means: (1) 30 days after final inspection and written final acceptance by the governmental body which issued the building permit; or (2) Cessation of labor for more than 60 days. If there is no building permit issued, then “completion” occurs on the last date that labor, materials, fixtures or tools were furnished to the property.
However, if a notice of completion was recorded by the owner with the county recorder’s office, then you have 60 days from the date of that recording to record your lien.
