Preliminary Notice
All States
We intend to file a mechanic's lien shortly on a project in Texas. My company is a NY Domestic entity and we will be filing as Assignee of the company actually doing the work, CPE Contractors, which is a Texas domestic entity. The specific project is being done in Texas and began at the beginning of February.
Texas offers domestic and non-domestic preliminary notice options. Which one should I use?
Thanks.

TexasI sent a Notice of Furnishing based on an old Notice of Commencement - apparently for an earlier phase of the project. After a few months of working on the job, a new Notice of Commencement was filed which included the work I was performing. Will my original notice be effective to preserve mechanics lien rights? Or was I required to send a new notice after the new Notice of Commencement was filed?

I have signed contract (2/15/2020)with a Pre-Lien Notice signed by the TENNANT, not the Owner of a commercial building. I'm the General Contractor that did the Emergency Water Damage dryout/clean up. The Tennant owns the interior and has it for sale right now. But can I put a lien on the property? Do I need to give the owner a notice within 45 days of first day (Feb 15)?

MinnesotaHI I'M SUBCONTRACTOR AND I NEED SEND A PRELIMINARY NOTICE BUT I DON'T KNOW THE OWNER NAME
CaliforniaHello, we are a Material Supplier hired by a Property Owner for a Commercial Project Site in Ohio. It says on the preliminary notice information that "Suppliers Must Send Notice - Notice of furnishing due within 21 days of first furnishing labor or materials - or 21 days from the filing of a notice of commencement, if the notice of commencement is filed late - on projects other than single or double residences." Is it only when the notice of commencement is late? When submitting, it says it may not be required depending on our role. Also, right now, the General Contractor is not known right now. Is it mandatory to send a General Contractor a preliminary notice in Ohio on time to perfect a mechanic's lien if it comes to that? Or will just the Property Owner suffice? Thank you.
OhioA contractor (friend) owed me money. He did work on my house as a payoff for part of the money.
The work included installing some stones for the house new look.
Apparently the company that supplied that stone and delivered to my house did not get paid and they put a mechanical lien on my house.
Am I responsible?
I have no contracts with neither the contractor or the company that supplied the goods.
CaliforniaWe are looking at your prelim services and are wondering if with the law changes can trucking companies prelim job sites?
Does the service also handle releases?
CaliforniaIm a sub contractor working on a large commercial job. we haven' been paid in months. what can we do ?
FloridaWhen we filed the notice to owners we marked the owner under "other" rather than owner but he did receive the notice and we have the returned receipt from the post office
FloridaIs it state law in Washington to send a notice of a right to lien in Washington?
WashingtonIn Michigan, I am 21 days from first delivering materials, should I still send notice of furnishing?
Our crew recently did a project for a General Contractor and I totally dropped the ball on sending the notice of furnishing. I ordered it today, but we are 21 days outstanding, does it make sense to still send it and can I perfect my lien rights if necessary? For reference we are still currently working on the project.
MichiganWe are a subcontractor and at times we get a letter of Intent from a GC but it takes time to get the PO or a contact from them. We order custom fence can we file a NTO from a LOI or should we hold the project until we get the PO or contract?
FloridaWe are starting a job at the Grand Canyon remodeling resident housing owned by the National Park Service and would like to file a 20 day prelim mechanics lien
ArizonaWe are a material supplier working on a private project with a sub-contractor.
Most of the deadlines for notices/liens/bonds are based on Delivery Dates. We have a situation where the customer hired their own trucks to pick-up the material from the yard and deliver to the job site. The yard where the customer picked up is in Texas, however, the job-site is in Alabama.
What are our lien rights and which state deadlines should we follow?
Please advise. Thank you :)
