Preliminary Notice
All States
Hello, We are a sub-contractor in the state of Ohio and we have been sending NOC's to our suppliers. However, I was just told as a sub that we should actually be sending Notice of Furnishings to the GC, Property Owner, and possibly the finance company. Can you help clarify the notice I should be sending as a subcontractor?
OhioWe are a general contractor and we were on a project where the client short paid our final pay application. We never sent a preliminary lien on the project and never submitted an unconditional waiver and release upon final payment. We have not been on this project for 9 months. Can we file a preliminary lien now or are they any options for us to pursue?
CaliforniaCan I file a lien in NC without providing a preliminary notice?
North CarolinaCan a contractor who doesn’t have a current license file a lien?
CaliforniaI work for a growing flooring and remodeling company and we are learning a few things about preliminary notices for the first time. Who needs to sign the preliminary notice? The template I have has the signature right under the state required "Notice to Property Owner" so does this mean the property owner needs to sign? And regardless of who needs to sign does this document need to be send via certified post mail or can it be sent via an e sign software that shows proof of receipt?
CaliforniaCan I file a lien as a subcontractor? We are unsure who the actual owners of the home are, but were hired by a contractor, would we send the lien to the contractor then?

MichiganThe invoice received shows dated 7/28/2020, 8/7/2020 .If a deadline is missed to send out the prelim notices and notice of intent can we request an extension or our filing rights?
MichiganI'm a GC on a small addition. The framing sub made some errors based on a failure to properly read the plans r take field measurements. After completing the corrections he then issued a change order which was not approved. After explaining that these were his mistakes to correct and in any event you cannot expect to get paid by issuing CO's after the work is complete, he has now sent a prelim notice despite the fact that he was last on the job nearly 60 days ago. My expectation is that he intends to now issue a notice of intent to lien. What is the best way to deal with this?
CaliforniaGood morning I am hoping you can answer some questions for us regarding an issue we are having with being paid for a completed roofing project. This our first encounter with this type of situation. We filed a mechanics lien with Humboldt County, it was recorded and returned w/o any indication that it was rejected or not valid, we are unsure what to do next since half the information I am finding states that the Lien would not be valid w/o preliminary notice being filed and delivered to customer/property owner within 20 days of starting a project, we were unaware of this. My husband has been in the roofing business for over 20 years and has never known of any preliminary notice having to be filed for each project. We have also spoken with others who have had contacting projects done through various contractors and have never received a preliminary notice. We do include in the estimate a "Notice to Owner that informs customers of the mechanics lien if n the event that payment is not received and/or being disputed. Is this "Notice to Owner" document enough. And if not what do we do now? Thank you in advance.
CaliforniaI work for a subcontractor in Jacksonville, FL, and part of my job is to send out Notice to Owner letters via Certified Mail with Return Receipt – PS Form 3811, or “green card.”
My question is this; once we have received the signed Return Receipt, how long should we keep them?
Thanks in advance for your time!
FloridaI am a material supplier to a sub on a large commercial project. The project has been ongoing for two months. I did not send a prelim and the last material i furnished was 4 days ago. Is my payment protected if I were to need to file a mechanics lien.
North CarolinaWe are the general contractor. On this project our AIA is with the tenant of the project doing TI work. On my PLN I'm not sure who and the order to note on the PLN. Do I do tenant first - AIA contract with them only Property Owner - they still own the shell portion of property Lender - do I put the lender since the building hasn't been sold yet
CaliforniaI am in the process of filling out a 20-day preliminary notice and was wondering if I am able to include a separate sheet for the area where I describe the labor, services, and equipment/materials? The 3 lines on the form are not enough room to include all the information I need to include.
CaliforniaI supplied staging (all furniture items) to a property to be listed for sale. An estimate was provided and a contract based on the estimate. After completing the work and adding furniture pieces that were initially credited on the estimate (I was told the items were on site and they were not) I added items necessary to complete the job. The house sold and now the owner does not want to pay me for the added materials. Do I have any recourse? The project began May 1st and ended June 11th.
