Requirements for Filing a Lien
To file a contractor lien in Arizona, specific requirements must be met to ensure the lien is valid. Contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers must first provide a preliminary 20-day notice to the property owner, general contractor, and lender before starting work or delivering materials.
The lien claim must then be recorded with the county recorder’s office in the county where the property is located, typically within 120 days of completing the work or furnishing materials. It’s important to include a detailed description of the work performed, the amount owed, and the property address in the lien document. Failing to follow these steps can result in the lien being unenforceable.
Valid License Required
Arizona law also requires that any lien claimant must have a valid contractor’s license for the type of work performed. In addition, after the lien is recorded, the claimant must provide a copy of the lien to the property owner within a reasonable time.
Meeting all of these requirements helps protect your right to payment and ensures your lien complies with Arizona statutes.
