Washington contractors who have a contract with the property owner can use this free Model Disclosure Statement form to protect their right to file a lien if unpaid.
Prime contractors must provide a type of preliminary notice in Washington known as a Model Disclosure Statement form prior to starting work on a construction project.
The Model Disclosure Statement is a type of preliminary notice. It is used on construction projects to protect a direct contractor’s right to file a mechanics lien in Washington if unpaid for work or materials.
This disclosure statement is given to the consumer (customer) from the contractor showing they are registered in the state of Washington. It provides a warning that the contractor may file a mechanics lien if the customer does not pay for the work or materials. The consumer (customer) must sign this form as acknowledgment of receipt.
Note that contractors must “retain a signed copy of the disclosure statement in his or her files for a minimum of three years.” They must provide a signed or electronic signature copy of the disclosure statement to the Washington Department of Labor and Industries upon request.
This form meets the requirements set forth in Washington Statute Chapter 60.04 – Mechanics’ and Materialmens’ Liens.
Rules and regulations for sending a Washington Preliminary Notice
Statutory Model Disclosure Statement should be provided to the customer immediately prior to beginning work.
After completing the Washington Model Disclosure Statement Form, you must deliver it to the appropriate parties required by statute. Notices are typically served on the property owner and, for sub-tier parties, the general contractor. However, depending on the type of notice, it can be helpful to send notices to anyone else who is in charge of your payment, like a lender or surety company on the project.
