Wisconsin Subcontractor Identification Notice Form

To preserve lien rights, all subcontractors must serve a "Subcontractor Identification Notice" upon the property owner within 60 days of first furnishing labor or materials to a project. While there are some exceptions (consult with attorney for specific exceptions), it is a good practice to send the notice on every project. Notices sent after the 60 day period will preserve lien rights only for the labor/material furnished after notice is delivered.

After completing the Wisconsin Subcontractor Identification Notice 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.
