File a Washington Pre-Lien Notice |
|
LienItNow.com prepares, files and serves Washington pre-lien notices. Under Washington law, prime contractors must provide all lower tier subcontractors and suppliers with a notice requirement containing certain information that is necessary for the filing of a lien. A prime contractor’s failure to provide such notice will eliminate the notice requirement as a defense and subcontractors and lower tier suppliers will not have to comply with any pre-claim notice requirements. Thus, the prime contractor must disclose, by written notification or posting on the job site itself, key information that affords potential lien claimants the ability to file a lien. Prime contractors and first tier subcontractors are not required to provide a notice of right to claim lien. Lower tier subcontractors/suppliers and professional service providers must provide a notice of right to claim a lien. On residential projects, the notice of right to claim lien must be provided within 10 days of the first performance of work or delivery of material or equipment. On private or commercial projects, this notice must be delivered within 60 days. Thereafter, the notice of right to claim lien must be recorded within 90 days of the claimant’s last date of work. |
File a Washington Stop Notice |

LienItNow.com prepares and serves Washington 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 Washington Bond Claim |

LienItNow.com prepares, files and serves Washington 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. |
