Lien Request Form

Do you have a signed IAF (by ALL homeowners) uploaded to Dropbox?
NOTE:  BOTH / ALL homeowners on the title must have signed the contract, whether married or not, to file a lien.   You can confirm home ownership using the applicable county CAD (central appraisal district) website.
Was the contract (IAF) signed before any work began (except emergency repairs)?
NOTE: "The contract is supposed to be executed only at the office of a third-party lender making an extension of credit, an attorney at law or a title company. This is a fairly technical rule and one that very, very few people satisfy. I see liens filed without one requirement all the time. It's not the most important requirement and most people may not raise it as an issue, but a sophisticated construction attorney will." -(Lovein-Ribman)
Do you have a final invoice based on completed work uploaded to Dropbox?
Address
 NOTE: The lien deadline runs from the last date of substantive work at the site (non-punchlist and non-warranty work).  If the work performed was not due to a materials or labor sub invoice which has been paid, please provide a brief description of the work you performed below.  If possible, please upload a photo or written record to Dropbox for legal reference.
Invoice sent within 35 days of completion?
LIENS MAY ONLY BE FILED FOR THE ACTUAL INCURRED EXPENSES FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS, INCLUDING PROFIT AND OVERHEAD as indicated above.

Process

1. Intent to Lien Letter is sent with a copy of the IAF and Final Invoice via certified mail with a seven-day response window.

2. If no response, the lien is filed with the county of the property address. A copy of the Affidavit and a Notice of Filing Lien Letter is sent to the customer. The filing notice letter contains both the actual lien amount due, plus a demand amount that includes interest (18% APR since 35 days from date of completion), the lien filing fee, and administrative fee. These additional fees are not part of the lien and cannot be included in the principal lien amount.

3. If no response, T Rock has one year to foreclose on the lien to collect payment (process should begin during the 11th month). If the file goes to court, additional legal costs and court fees will also be added to the total amount due.
