Lien Deadlines Questions

Lien Deadlines
All States
We have a project that we are trying to avoid having to file a lien on but we also do not want to let the deadlines to file go by without doing something. So I am hoping I am able to extend my right to file a bit longer.
We are in Colorado - Teller County. We completed a job 7/9/2020. To my understanding we have 4 months from date completed to file a lien. We did not want to file the lien in November at the 4 month mark so we filed a "Notice to Extend Time for Filing Lien." I believe this bought us 2 more months making our new deadline early January. However, thru the document I purchased through LevelSet it gave the following information....
Description of Document Ordered
In Colorado, any potential lien claimant may file
an extension to extend the period for filing a lien.
If filed, an extension will move the deadline to:
Four months after completion, or six months after
filing the extension - whichever occurs first.
So now I am not sure if I have missed a deadline or what my deadline would be to file?
If the deadline is January, like I think it is, I am also wondering if there is any way to extend that deadline any farther? Like another Notice to Extend Time for Filing Lien.
Thank you!

CaliforniaAfter several attempts to collect payment from the customer through all email documentations and phone calls, we were at the last attempt to be able to file a lien since it was the 90 days after project completion. We submitted the lien through the website. The customer has not stated that he was advised not to pay since there was no pre-lien sent out.

New YorkFinally watching your New Lien Rights in GA webinar by Mark Cobb.
1. If you don't get paid in 60/90 days, could you be tricky: issue a credit for that bill then rebill, so the date is less than 60/ 90days days?
2. My contractor business sits in GA, but we do business in many states. What lien law applies? The state where the PROJECT is located, or the state where WE are located? Do I need to learn the lien laws of all 50 states?
Thank you for your time!
GeorgiaI have a customer that we he has been paid by the insurance, but he keeps telling us that no he has not been, can I file a lien on his property? We finished the work about 2 weeks ago
CaliforniaHello,
We were hired as an HVAC subcontractor on 7/20/20. We did not file a pre-lien. We have not been paid our final payment. The job finished on 10/20/20. I thought we had 90 days after the job to file the lien. I called level set and was told I needed to file a pre-lien 60 days after the start, so by 9/20/20. Is there anything I can do? I am worried if I file the lien it will get dismissed.
WashingtonMy lien expired but I did do work after before the lien expired and I asked for payment and I wasn’t paid still I already had a lien filed and it’s been past eight months of collecting but 90 days ago I went and collected the rest of my belongings off the residence where my job was so I’d like to open a new claim to be paid for the full amount of work that I completed and have receipts for
WashingtonI need to file a lien against a pier that was installed and removed for a customer who has now fallen into financial issues and cannot pay. The last date of service was October 2019, and the customer generally would pay for everything annually, so this did not raise a red flag. We are now concerned that his funds and property will be levied and we want to make sure we are paid first.

Hello, we filed our notice of intent on 4/7/20 but did not follow through with Claim of lien since it appeared the property owner would pay. They have since defaulted and we would like to know if we may still complete the Lien or if we need to fill a new Notice of Intent.
FloridaOur tenants he is a contractor and destroyed our home… In our lease we stated that he could add the trim to the windows for reduced rent. He did not do that. He did however destroy our home steal things and when we asked him to return the items he stoleHe is now threatening a Mechanics lien on our home. Can he do this? We had just put a lot of work into the Home and it did not need remodeling but now it is structurally unstable and unsafe due to the things he did. Help?
