A supplier in Utah has placed a mechanics lien on my project in Idaho. The supplier was never contracted or contacted by our company (the General Contractor). A subcontractor ordered the material to be delivered to the job site and then never showed up, thus defaulted on their contract. Two questions:
1. What state's lien requirements take precedence -and-
2. The material was delivered to the site on July 1, 2021. It was the only delivery. The lien was filed on December 29, 2021. That is 182 days. In Idaho the limitations are 90 days...in Utah 90 days after Notice of Completion (does not exist since we never knew where the subcontractor ordered his materials from) or 180 days from work completion.
It appears that the claimant has fudged the dates on the claim stating that the one delivery was dropped between August 2, 2021 and September 21, 2021. I do not know how one delivery could span a 51 day period. I imagine the date(s) were adjusted at an attempt to move the "work" into the allowable timeframe to file a lien.
UtahA trucking company was subcontracted by a prime contractor whom I have a contract with to haul dirt from one property to another. The prime contractor has not made payment to the sub. Can the subcontractor file a lien on either property?
UtahI am a material supplier and have three jobs within the State of Utah I am preparing to lien. We sold materials to a subcontractor. Much of the balance we are due from the sub contractor is for items that have become part a permanent part of the property (industrial coatings). A portion of the amount we are owed is for the purchase of equipment and tools needed to apply the industrial coatings purchased for the projects we are preparing to lien. Can the portion of the debt we are owed related to equipment and tool purchases be included in the lien?
UtahI am a contractor and recently finished a basement for a customer. The project was 99% complete, literally an hour of work left, then they decided to "fire" us. They had paid all of their invoices up to this point, but are disputing the final invoice; even though it was discounted for the work they did not let us finish.
Utahsubcontractor is withholding retention on a waiver for HVAC equipment that has been delivered. years ago my boss said retention could not be withheld on supplies. Can you tell me if that is correct.
UtahI am a home owner who purchased a solar energy system from a door-to-door salesman. The salesman told us 3 specific things we would receive in the package deal that encouraged us to buy. We now find out that one of the things he promised is (according to the prime contractor) technically impossible to do, and also that the salesman was actually a sub-contractor to the solar installation company. The work performed was good, but is missing a last important element. The solar company has now cancelled their work arrangement with the salesman, and they say that they can't finish the project as promised by the salesman (though not contractually agreed to). I have the remaining 60% final payment to pay for the project, but am unwilling to do so until the project is completed as promised. The salesman has agreed that he did, in fact, promise the final element. My question: If the solar energy contractor puts a lien on my house, what are the consequences for me, and what are the chances that the contractor can petition to foreclose on my house, in order to obtain his $10K +/- remaining fees?
UtahI’m just confused on insurance jobs what role we play because the insurance company hires us and then we subcontract the work so would that make us the sub- sub contractor?
UtahOur company is from Missouri we were hired to be a subcontractor on a job in Utah. We have completed the job on 9/11/21 payment was to be made 10 days after completion. Do we have any right to put a lien on the property in Utah? We did not file any Notices with the state at anytime.
UtahI'm a plumber that did not get a signed contract for 2 new bathroom installs. I completed work and was only paid a portion. The homeowner is refusing to pay saying that my work was not good and that they are not paying because they have to hire someone else to fix what I supposedly did wrong . Can I file a lien even though I did not get a written contract?
UtahI have pre liens against my property, where payments have been made. I also have a lien against my home that I was never informed of. The person who filed that lien never supplied a bill and they did not complete the work - it did not pass inspection. The lien was put on the property 10 months after the work was done.
These issues are holding up my loan. What are my options.
UtahAs described in the question
UtahI am a broker that arranged for a truck to pick up a load in Tremonton, UT and deliver to Norwalk, CA. The customer had the hired truck driver sign a load conformation with the incorrect rate and now the customer is refusing to pay the total invoice. I spoke with Elizabeth Walker with Levelset and she wasn't sure if I could lien this job site because it is for a freight charge. She has advised me to contact you to see if this is something that we can lien the job site for.

UtahThe contractor owes us money for credits from materials he over bought and returned, mistake he made pouring concrete foundation, and gutters he took down, disposed of and never replaced. Costs total around $10,000.00. We are waiting for the final invoice which we would like to deduct these fees from. Can I file a lien against him to get my money back?
Utahso what does it mean:
A. TWG does not financially guarantee the Owner's ability to fund the Project cost. In the event of Owner's insolvency or willful refusal to pay TWG, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Owner Agreement, it is an express condition of this Subcontract Agreement that TWG's obligation to pay Subcontractor is contingent upon receipt of payment from Owner for Subcontractor's Work. Owner's withholding of a TWG payment, due to an alleged failure by TWG to perform any of its obligations unrelated to this Subcontract Agreement, will not excuse payment to Subcontractor according to the terms of this Subcontract Agreements
