Document Title: Notice of the Right to Claim a
Lien.
Scope: State of Oregon, Private Works
Time Constraints: An Oregon Notice of the Right
to Claim a Lien Notice must be prepared and served on the owners,
general contractors and lenders (and sureties, if one exists)
by personal service or certified mail no later than 8 days (not
including Saturday, Sunday, or holidays) after the first furnishing
of labor, materials or service if you want to establish a right
to lien for the prior 8 days.
This notice is actually required if you supply
materials only to a job. However, to prevent problems we strongly
urge you to serve notice in any case.
The notice sent must be complete, including the
"Information Notice to Owner", or you can be assessed
fines up to $5,000.00.
Information Requirements: The information required
by program and whether you intend to send an owner cover letter.
Form Types: Notice of the Right to Claim a Lien,
Exhibits A-D (if needed) and Owner Letter (if used).
Procedures: Enter the program data, including
Additional Legal Parties or Releases for Other Companies. Copies
of all of the forms (less the Owner Cover Letter and the Recorder
Letter) must be sent to all legal owners, all general contractors,
all lenders and all sureties. Sending a copy to your customer
is optional (unless they ARE the owners, general contractors,
lenders or sureties).
When in doubt, file your lien claim immediately.
Important: If you fail to prepare and serve your
Preliminary Notice within the statutory period noted above after
first furnishing of labor, materials or service, you will lose
your right to perfect your lien.
