Document Title: Notice to Owner of Intent to Lien
Scope: State of Kentucky, Private Works
Time Constraints: While called a Notice of Intent
to Lien (Lien Warning notice), the Kentucky form acts like a
preliminary notice of furnishing. All jobs require notice, but
when notice is actually required depends on the type of owner:
Owner Occupied Single or Family Dwelling: Notice
of Intent must be served by certified mail or personal service
on the owners within 45 days of last furnishing labor, materials
or services unless the contract was directly with the owner
or his authorized agent. In the latter case, notice is not required.
Otherwise: Notice of Intent must be served by
certified mail or personal service on the owners within 75 days
on claims less than $1,000.00, or 120 days on claims in excess
of$1,000.00, of the last furnishing of labor, materials or services
unless the contract is directly with the owner or his authorized
agent. In the latter case, notice is not required.
However, it is our strong recommendation that
you serve notice on all jobs and within the time frame demanded
by the owner occupied job. This will prevent any errors since
the most restrictive conditions listed under the law will be
met.
Information Requirements: The type of document
you need, the information required by the program and whether
you intend to send an owner cover letter.
Form Types: Notice to Owner of Intent to Lien,
Exhibits A-D (if needed), and the Owner Letter (if used).
Procedures: Enter the program data, including
Additional Legal Parties or Releases for Other Companies. Serve
a copy on the owners within the time frames described above.
Service on prime contractors, lenders, sureties and your customer
is optional.
When in doubt, file your lien claim immediately.
