Who Can File a Lien?
Under Alaska law, lien rights may apply to a wide range of participants involved in construction and improvement projects. This includes:
- any company or individual who supplied labor for improvements to real property,
- union trusts and trustees,
- materialmen who supplied materials to the project site,
- suppliers who supplied equipment to the project site,
- the architect, surveyor, or engineer, or
- the general contractor.
Lien Claim Process
To file a contractor lien in Alaska, several state-specific requirements must be met.
First, a claimant must provide a Notice of Right to Lien to the property owner within 15 days after first furnishing labor or materials for a residential project with four or fewer units. For commercial projects or larger residential developments, this notice is not required, but it is recommended.
The lien claimant must then record a Claim of Lien with the recorder’s office in the district where the property is located within 120 days after the completion of the work or the last delivery of materials. The lien statement must include a legal property description, the amount claimed, the name of the property owner, and details of the work performed or materials supplied.
After recording the lien, the claimant has six months to initiate a foreclosure action to enforce the lien. Failure to follow these deadlines or provide proper notice can invalidate the lien claim. It's critical to ensure all information is accurate and that notices are properly served to protect lien rights under Alaska law.
Alaska Conditional Waiver and Release of Lien - Progress Payment
Release your lien rights for the period up to the date of a progress payment with this Alaska Conditional Waiver and Release of Lien Upon Progress Payment.
According to the Alaska Mechanics Lien Statute, contractors who provide labor, materials, or equipment for a construction project are granted a lien right on the property where the work has been performed. This legal protection ensures that contractors have a security interest in the property until they are compensated for their contributions.
Release of Lien Rights Upon Payment
Once a property owner issues a progress payment to the contractor for improvements made, it becomes the contractor’s responsibility to release their lien rights for the period covered by the payment. The release applies only up to the date of the payment, reflecting the work that has been compensated.
Conditional Nature of the Waiver
This waiver is conditional, meaning it does not become effective until the contractor actually receives the progress payment. Until the payment is confirmed, the lien rights remain in place.
