2009 Fifty State Lien Law Notice Requirements

Seyfarth Shaw LLP has created this quick reference table, which describes general time requirements for filing claims of lien, notices and related lien documents in each state. The Construction and Real Estate Practice Groups at Seyfarth prepared the survey for use primarily by commercial contractors and real estate developers on non-public projects.  Requirements may differ for residential and other contractors. The table does not detail required methods of service or the contents of lien notices, nor does it replace legal advice regarding the prosecution or defense of a lien claim. The survey shows lien statutes in effect as of January 1, 2009.

If you have any questions about these requirements, please contact your Seyfarth attorney.
