Georgia Preliminary Notice to Contractor Information
- Unless you have a direct contract with the owner or the prime contractor, you are required to give written Notice to Contractor within 30 days of first delivery of labor, service or materials, or within 30 days from the filing of the notice of commencement, whichever is later.
- If you make a written request to the contractor for a copy of the NOC and if he fails to provide you a copy within 10 days of his receipt of your request, you have lien rights without timely serving a Notice to Contractor.
- An optional Preliminary Notice of Lien can be filed with the clerk of courts in the county where property is located. Although this is not an essential step in perfection of lien rights, filing of this notice is intended to alert the property owner to the potential claim. If used, a Cancellation of Preliminary Notice of Lien must be filed within 10 days of final payment.
- The contractor is required to file a Notice of Commencement within 15 days from the start of the job.
- You have 3 months from last date materials were furnished or last date work was completed, to file a Claim of Lien. We advise you consult an attorney to make sure your claim of lien is timely and correctly filed. 3 months is absolute and if the date falls on a weekend or holiday it must be filed the business day PRIOR to the 3-month date.
- A claim of lien, once filed, cannot be amended after the 3-month period has passed.
- You have 12 months from the last date materials were furnished or work was performed to perfect the lien. This is called a Notice of Commencement of Action
- 14 days after filing this action, a notice must be filed with the county clerk of courts
