After a notice of intent, how long do we have to file or not file a lien?

The Colorado Notice of Intent (NOI) requirements are found under CRS §38-22-109. As far as the timing is concerned, the only requirement is that the NOI be served at least 10 days before the lien claim is filed. This isn't necessarily a deadline that results in expiration, rather a minimum amount of time that it should be served before filing.
Given that the typical deadline to file a Colorado mechanics lien claim is 4 years (or 2 in some circumstances), the NOI will be "valid" up until the lien filing deadline.
