Amending The Mechanic's Lien Act to Include Written Notice for Contractors

Posted on March 6, 2008 by Ashley Brandt

In what is sure to be a contested issue, the new House Bill 5572 is a proposition to require written notice from the contractor to the owner of a single-family, owner-occupied dwelling, prior to filing a lien against any property of the owner.

  • Given that there is no time provision installed in this legislation, and that it does not include a method for serving the notice, and that the term "any" could be construed in multiple ways, it is likely that we'll see some revisions of this bill before it could be incorporated into the mechanic's lien act.
