Any right to assert a defense of failure to comply with the preliminary notice requirement is void unless the original contractor records a notice of commencement of the project or improvement with the county recorder for the county or counties where the project is located within 30 days after commencement of the project.
A Utah Notice of Commencement is an official document filed with the county recorder in Utah prior to the commencement of any construction project. It is used to provide notice to potential lien claimants of a construction project, as well as to provide the public with information about the project. There are two types of Utah Notice of Commencement: a Notice of Public Works and a Notice of Private Works. A Notice of Public Works is used for publicly funded projects, while a Notice of Private Works is used for privately funded projects. The Notice of Commencement must include the project name, the legal description of the property, the name of the owner, the contractor, the lender (if applicable), the estimated cost of the project, the type of work being performed, the commencement date of the project, and the name and address of the person filing the Notice. The Notice of Commencement must be recorded in the county recorder’s office in order to take effect.A Utah Notice of Commencement is an official document filed with the county recorder in Utah prior to the commencement of any construction project.
