Need help on how to file a lien in Colorado? LienItNow.com provides an easy, quick process that takes out the guesswork, and gets your Colorado mechanics lien filed. After completing a quick Colorado lien worksheet, LienItNow.com prepares, files and serves the Colorado construction mechanics liens. This is done for a low, flat fee, which includes government fees and service fees. In Colorado, liens filed on private property or on funds relating to a public project are known as Colorado Mechanic’s Liens. If a lien is filed with regard to work performed on privately owned property in Colorado, the mechanics lien, which is a statutory creation of the Colorado legislature, attaches to and encumbers ownership of real estate. Colorado liens filed with regard to public projects attach to the funds held by the public owner, which results in the contractor who has not paid its subcontractors and suppliers not getting paid until the lien is resolved.
File a Colorado Discharge of Lien (Lien Release) |
|
After the lien has been resolved or paid, the Colorado lien law requires that the claimant (the person that filed the mechanics lien) release or discharge the mechanics lien by filing a Colorado Lien Release. By releasing the lien, the encumbrance it created is removed, and the property is once again free to be refinanced, transferred or sold. LienItNow.com prepares, files and serves a Lien Release. It is important that once the lienor has been paid the amount contained in its lien claim, or has come to an agreement that requires the lien claim to be removed from the property records, a Colorado Discharge of Mechanics’ Lien Claim should be filed. If the lienor refuses to file a Lien Release, a property owner may be able to ask a court to release the lien. |
File a Colorado Pre-Lien Notice of Intent to File a Lien Statement |
|
LienItNow.com prepares, files and serves Colorado pre-lien Notices of Intent to Lien and serves Preliminary Notices of Furnishing Labor or Materials. In Colorado, a Notice of Intent to Lien is required at least 10 days prior to filing a lien statement. If a Notice of Intent is not filed at least 10 days prior to the filing of a mechanics lien, Colorado lien laws may invalidate the lien. A notice of intent to lien must be provided to the owner and the prime contractor. A preliminary notice of furnishing labor or materials is a document sent at the beginning of a subcontractor or supplier's work, and is strongly encouraged so that the owner knows who is providing services and materials to the construction project. Preliminary notices often help to ensure payment comes on a timely and regular basis. In the event payment is not made, and lien waivers are regularly used for progress payments, the owner may notice that a subcontractor or supplier's waiver is not included in that month's paperwork, alerting them to an issue. |
File a Colorado Stop Notice |
|
LienItNow.com prepares and serves Colorado Stop Notices. A Stop Notice is a notification that has the ability to enhance the effectiveness of a mechanic’s lien. A Stop Notice, or a notice to withhold funds, is sent to the company that is financing or funding the construction funds for a project. Once that company receives the Stop Notice, that company has notice that it should withhold sufficient money to satisfy the stop notice claim. The purpose of the Stop Notice is to provide the lender, financiers or funders of the construction project notice that there is money owed to a contractor, subcontractor or supplier so that an inquiry can be made as to why that money is not being paid. |
File a Colorado Amendment of Lien |
|
LienItNow.com prepares, files and serves Colorado Amendments to Mechanics’ Lien Claims. Amendments to a mechanics’ lien claim are often needed when something about the claim changes. Common changes to a lien claim are increases or reductions in the amount due to the lienor, or a change to the last date of work. |
File a Colorado Bond Claim |
|
LienItNow.com prepares, files and serves Colorado Bond Claims. Bond claims can only be filed on a project where the owner, contractor or subcontractor has obtained a payment bond to ensure that every contractor receives payment for the work performed on the Project. The payment bonds issued by sureties for construction projects have specific timing requirements, but most require claimants to submit claims against the bond within sixty to ninety days from the claimants’ last date of work. Bond claims are as or more effective than a lien claim because the payment bond acts as a guarantee that payment will be made for work properly completed. |
