Who Can File a Mechanics Lien in Utah?
In Utah, primary contractors, subcontractors, and other parties who furnish labor and/or materials to a project—including equipment lessors—are entitled to mechanics lien rights. Notably, unlike many other states, suppliers to suppliers also possess lien rights, provided that the materials they supply can be traced directly to the project in question and that all state notice requirements are satisfied.
It is important to note that parties who only provide services to or related to the property, without contributing to the actual "improvement" of the property, are not permitted to claim a lien.
Deadlines for Filing a Lien
Utah distinguishes between two separate types of liens, depending on the timing of the work furnished: the Pre-Construction Lien and the Construction Lien.
For those seeking to claim a pre-construction lien, a Notice of Pre-Construction Lien must be filed within 90 days following the completion of the pre-construction services provided.
If claiming a construction lien, parties must file a Notice of Construction Lien within 90 days after a Notice of Completion is filed, or within 180 days of the completion of the original contract if no Notice of Completion is filed.
