Ohio Request for Lien Information - Individual

When a dispute arises over payment from the contractor to subcontractor, materialman, or laborer, and the subcontractor, materialman, or laborer refuses to release his lien as a result, the owner and/or lending institution may withhold payment from the contractor in the amount disputed. The amount to be withheld must be supplied by the subcontractor, materialman, or laborer, to the contractor within ten days of receipt of a request to supply this information. Failure of the subcontractor, materialman, or laborer to supply this information within ten days will result in the contractor submitting the amount to be withheld to the owner and/or lending institution.
