Information Regarding Recording/Posting/Serving The Non-Responsibility Notice

Be sure to get the form recorded at the county recorder's office and posted at the jobsite before your time runs out. The included instructions explain the steps.

Currently, the law says it must be posted and recorded no later than TEN (10) days after you learn of the work of improvement.

Start now and in less than 5 minutes you can have completed forms in your hands and ready to file with the county recorder's office!

This notice, while protecting the Owner's interest, also gives the contractors and suppliers on the job the opportunity to protect their interests. This lets them know that they can't rely on a mechanic's lien to get paid.

Some contractors would choose to not work on a project where they don't have lien rights. This notice gives all parties an opportunity to make an informed decision (on whether or not they want to do the job) before they get too heavily invested.
