Select the type of document. Not sure? A prelien notice is always a great first move — it's fast, cheap, and often gets you paid immediately.
💡
Pro tip: Send a preliminary notice within the first 20 days of any project. It protects your lien rights and shows owners you mean business — often enough to get paid on the spot.

Step 2 — Your Role
What's your role on this project?
Your position in the contracting chain affects your lien rights and deadlines. Pick the one that best describes you.
🏗️
General Contractor
You have a direct contract with the property owner and oversee the overall project. You hired subs or did the work yourself.
🔧
Subcontractor
You were hired by a GC or another sub — not directly by the property owner. You performed labor or specialty trade work.
📦
Material Supplier
You supplied materials, equipment, or goods to the project. You may or may not have performed any labor on site.
⚠️
Your role determines your lien filing deadlines and notice requirements. Don't worry — we'll handle the legal details based on what you select.
Step 3 — Your Information
Tell us about your business.
This will appear on the lien documents as the claimant. Make sure it matches your license.
Step 4 — Project Details
Tell us about the project.
We need the property address and job details to prepare your lien documents correctly.
Step 5 — Property Owner & Hiring Party
Who owes you money?
We'll need the property owner's information and who hired you for the job (they may be the same person).
👷
Who hired you? If a general contractor hired you (not the property owner directly), fill this out too — both parties need to be notified.
Step 6 — Amounts & Contract
How much are you owed?
Enter the contract amounts and outstanding balance. Be accurate — this is what goes on the legal document.
✅
For a preliminary lien notice, we only need an estimated contract value. You don't need to have an unpaid balance yet — this notice protects your future rights.
