Conditional Waiver and Release on Progress Payment - Mechanic Liens - Individual

Note: This summary is not intended to be an all inclusive discussion of the law of mechanic liens in Arizona, but does contain basic and other provisions. Lien for labor; professional services or materials used in construction, alteration or repair of structures; preliminary twenty day notice; exceptions A. Except as provided in sections 33-1002(owner-occupied residence) and 33-1003 (payment bond recorded), every person who labors or furnishes professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools in the construction, alteration or repair of any building, or other structure or improvement, shall have a lien on such building, structure or improvement for the work or labor done or professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools furnished, whether the work was done or the articles were furnished at the instance of the owner of the building, structure or improvement, or his agent. B. Every contractor, subcontractor, architect, builder or other person having charge or control of the construction, alteration or repair, either wholly or in part, of any building, structure or improvement is the agent of the owner for the purposes of this article, and the owner shall be liable for the reasonable value of labor or materials furnished to his agent. C. A person who is required to be licensed as a contractor but who does not hold a valid license as such contractor issued pursuant to title 32, chapter 10 shall not have the lien rights provided for in this section. D. A person required to give preliminary twenty day notice pursuant to section 33- 992.01 is entitled to enforce the lien rights provided for in this section only if he has given such notice and has made proof of service pursuant to section 33-992.02. E. A person who furnishes professional services but who does not hold a valid certificate of registration issued pursuant to title 32, chapter 1 shall not have the lien rights provided for in this section. F. A person who furnishes professional services is entitled to enforce the lien rights provided for in this section only if such person has an agreement with the owner of the property or with an architect, an engineer or a contractor who has an agreement with the owner of the property. 33-981. Preliminary twenty day notice; definitions; content; election; waiver; service; single service; contract: A. For the purposes of this section: 1. “Construction lender” means any mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of trust lending funds with which the cost of the construction, alteration, repair or improvement is, wholly or in part, to be defrayed, or any assignee or successor in interest of either. 2. “Original contractor” means any contractor who has a direct contractual relationship with the owner. 3. “Owner” means the person, or his successor in interest, who causes a building, structure or improvement to be constructed, altered or repaired, whether the interest or estate of the person is in fee, as vendee under a contract to purchase, as lessee, or other interest or estate less than fee. Where such interest or estate is held by two or more persons as community property, joint tenants or tenants in common, any one or more of the persons may be deemed the owner. 4. “Preliminary twenty day notice” means one or more written notices from a claimant that are given prior to the recording of a mechanic’s lien and which are required to be given pursuant to this section. B. Every person who may claim a lien shall, as a necessary prerequisite to the validity of any claim of lien, serve the owner or reputed owner, the original contractor or reputed contractor, the construction lender, if any, or reputed construction lender, if any, and the person with whom the claimant has contracted for the purchase of those items with a written preliminary twenty day notice. C. The preliminary twenty day notice shall be given not later than twenty days after the claimant has first furnished labor, professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools to the jobsite and shall contain the following information: See Forms AZ-01-09 or AZ-01A-09. D. The preliminary notice given by any claimant shall follow substantially the following form. See Form AZ-01-09 or AZ-01A-09. E. If labor, professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools are furnished to a jobsite by a person who elects not to give a preliminary twenty day notice, such person is not precluded from giving a preliminary twenty day notice not later than twenty days after furnishing other labor, professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools to the same jobsite. Such person, however, is entitled to claim a lien only for such labor, professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools furnished within twenty days prior to the service of such notice and at any time thereafter. F. The notice or notices required by this section may be given by mailing the notice by first class mail sent with a certificate of mailing, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid in all cases, addressed to the person to whom notice is to be given at his residence or business address. Service is complete at the time of the deposit of such mail. G. A person required to give a premilinary notice need give only one such notice unless the actual estimated total price for the labor, professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools furnished or to be furnished exceeds by twenty per cent or more the total price in any prior original or subsequent preliminary notice or unless the labor, professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools are furnished under contracts with more than one subcontractor, in which case notice requirements shall be met for all such additional labor, professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools. H. If a notice contains a general description of the labor, professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools furnished up to the date of notice, it is not defective because after such date the person giving notice furnishes labor, professional services, materials, machinery, fixtures or tools that are not within the scope of such general description, or exceed by less than twenty per cent the estimated total price thereof. I. Within ten days after receipt of a written request from any person or his agent intending to file a preliminary twenty day notice, which request shall identify the person, his address, the job site and the general nature of the person’s labor, professional services, materials, machinery or tools to which the preliminary twenty day notice shall apply, or within ten days of the receipt of a preliminary twenty day notice, the owner or other interested party shall furnish such person a written statement containing the following information: See forms AZ-03-09 or AZ-03A-09. J. Failure of the owner or other interested party to furnish the information required by subsection I above does not excuse any claimant from timely giving a preliminary twenty day notice, but it does stop the owner from raising as a defense any inaccuracy of such information in a preliminary twenty day notice, provided the claimant’s preliminary twenty day notice of lien otherwise complies with the provisions of this chapter. If the information is received by the claimant after the claimant has given a preliminary twenty-day notice and the information contained in the preliminary twenty-day notice is inaccurate, the claimant shall, within thirty days of the receipt of this information, give an amended preliminary twenty day notice in the manner provided in this section. Such amended preliminary twenty day notice shall be considered as having been given at the same time as the original preliminary twenty day notice, except that the amended preliminary twenty day notice shall be effective only as to work performed, materials supplied or professional services rendered twenty days prior to the date of the amended preliminary twenty day notice or the date the original preliminary twenty day notice was given to the owner, whichever occurs first. If a payment bond has been recorded in compliance with section 33-1003 and the owner or other interested party fails to furnish a copy of the bond and the other information as required by this section, the claimant shall retain lien rights to the extent precluded or prejudiced from asserting a claim against the bond as a direct result of not timely receiving a copy of the bond and the other information from the owner or other interested party. 33-992.01. Proof of mailing of preliminary twenty day notice; receipt; affidavit: Proof that the preliminary twenty day notice was given shall be made as follows: 1. If given by mail, by an acknowledgment of receipt of the notice in a form substantially as follows: See AZ-01-09 or AZ-01A-09. 2. If a person to whom the notice is served fails to complete the acknowledgment or fails to complete and return the acknowledgment within thirty days from the date of mailing, proof of mailing may be made by affidavit of the person making the mailing, showing the time, place and manner of mailing and facts showing that such service was made in accordance with law. The affidavit shall show the name and address of the person to whom a copy of the preliminary twenty day notice was mailed, and, if appropriate, the title or capacity in which he was given the notice. If mailing was made by first class mail sent with a certificate of mailing, the certificate of mailing shall be attached to the affidavit. If the mailing was by certified or registered mail, the receipt of certification or registration shall be attached to the affidavit. 33-992.02. See forms AZ-04-09 or AZ-04A-09. Procedure to perfect lien; notice and claim of lien; service; recording; definitions A. In order to impress and secure the lien provided for in this article, every person claiming the benefits of this article, within one hundred twenty days after completion of a building, structure or improvement, or any alteration or repair of such building, structure or improvement, or if a notice of completion has been recorded, within sixty days after recordation of such notice, shall make duplicate copies of a notice and claim of lien and record one copy with the county recorder of the county in which the property or some part of the property is located, and within a reasonable time thereafter serve the remaining copy upon the owner of the building, structure or improvement, if he can be found within the county. The notice and claim of lien shall be made under oath by the claimant or someone with knowledge of the facts and shall contain: See Forms AZ-05-09 or AZ-05A-09. B. For purposes of this section, if a work of improvement consists of the construction for residential occupancy of more than one separate building without regard to whether the buildings are constructed pursuant to separate contracts or a single contract, each building is a separate work and the time within which to perfect a lien by recording the notice of lien pursuant to subsection A of this section commences to run on the completion of each separate building. For purposes of this subsection, “separate building” means one structure of a work of improvement and any garages or other appurtenant buildings in a multibuilding residential project or residential subdivision. C. For the purposes of subsection A of this section, “completion” means the earliest of the following events: 1. Thirty days after final inspection and written final acceptance by the governmental body which issued the building permit for the building, structure or improvement. 2. Cessation of labor for a period of sixty consecutive days, except when such cessation of labor is due to a strike, shortage of materials or act of God. D. If no building permit is issued or if the governmental body that issued the building permit for the building, structure or improvement does not issue final inspections and written final acceptances, then “completion” for the purposes of subsection A of this section means the last date on which any labor, materials, fixtures or tools were furnished to the property. E. For the purposes of this section, “notice of completion” means a written notice which the owner or its agent may elect to record at any time after completion of construction as defined in subsection C of this section for the purpose of shortening the lien period, as provided in subsection A of this section. A notice of completion shall be signed and verified by the owner or its agent and shall contain the following information: See forms AZ-06-09 or AZ-06A-09. F. The notice of completion shall follow substantially the following form: See forms AZ-06-09 or AZ-06A-09. G. If there is more than one owner, any notice of completion signed by less than all such owners shall recite the name and address of all such owners. If the notice of completion is signed by a successor in interest, it shall recite the names and addresses of his transferor or transferors. H. A notice of completion shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the property or some part of the property is located. The county recorder of the county in which the notice of completion is recorded shall index the notice of completion under the index classification in which mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens are recorded. I. If a notice of completion has been recorded, the person recording the notice, within fifteen days of recording, shall mail by certified or registered mail postage prepaid a copy of the notice of completion and a written statement of the date of recording and the county recorder’s record location information to the original contractor and all persons from whom the owner has previously received a preliminary twenty day notice. In the event the owner or its agent fails to mail a copy of the notice of completion and a written statement of the date of recording and the county recorder’s record location information within fifteen days of recording to any person from whom the owner has received a preliminary twenty day notice, such person shall have one hundred twenty days from completion as defined in section 33-993 to impress and secure the lien provided for in this article. 33-993. See forms AZ-07-09 or AZ-07A-09. Right of owner of property against which lien is claimed to withhold payment to original contractor; procedure Upon service of the notice and claim of lien, the owner may retain, out of the amount due or to become due the original contractor, the value of the labor or material furnished as shown by the notice and claim of lien. The owner shall furnish the original contractor with a true copy of the notice and claim of lien and if the contractor does not, within ten days after receipt of the copy, give the owner written notice that he intends to dispute the claim, he shall be considered as assenting to the demand, which shall be paid by the owner when it becomes due. 33-994. Definitions; inapplicability of certain liens to owner-occupied dwelling; waiver void A. In this section: 1. “Dwelling” means real property upon which there has been constructed or is to be constructed any building, structure or improvement which is designed for either single one-family or single two-family residential purposes or activities related thereto, including an apartment in a horizontal property regime or other condominium. 2. “Owner-occupant” means a natural person who: (a) Prior to commencement of the construction, alteration, repair or improvement holds legal or equitable title to the dwelling by a deed or contract for the conveyance of real property recorded with the county recorder of the county in which the dwelling is located, and (b) Resides or intends to reside in the dwelling at least thirty days during the twelve-month period immediately following completion of the construction, alteration, repair or improvement and does not intend to sell or lease the dwelling to others.

A single act shall not establish a person as an owner-occupant if such person permits exclusive occupancy by other than members of his or her family for other than temporary purposes thereby negating his or her intent to reside in the dwelling primarily for use as his or her home. B. No lien provided for in this article shall be allowed or recorded by the person claiming a lien against the dwelling of a person who became an owner-occupant prior to the construction, alteration, repair or improvement, except by a person having executed in writing a contract directly with the owner-occupant.

Evidence of payment may be by the claimant’s endorsement on a single or joint payee check that has been paid by the bank on which it was drawn or by written acknowledgment of payment given by theclaimant. B.

C. This section does not affect the enforceability of either an accord and satisfaction regarding a bona fide dispute or any agreement made in settlement of an action pending in any court provided the accord and satisfaction or agreement and settlement make specific reference to the mechanic’s lien or bond claims.

Under a contract between the person performing the labor or furnishing the material or merchandise and the owner of the mining claim, or his contractor. 2. Under a contract between the person performing the labor or furnishing the material or merchandise and the lessee of the mine or mining claim, or his contractor, where the lease from the owner to the lessee permits the lessee to develop or work the mine or mining claim. 3. Under a contract between persons performing the labor or furnishing the material or merchandise, and any person having an option to buy or contract to purchase the mine or mining claim from the owner thereof, where the option or contract permits the person to go upon the mine or mining claim, and to work or develop it. C. The lien shall attach to the mine or mining claim in or on which the labor was performed or material or merchandise furnished, in preference to any prior lien or encumbrance or mortgage upon the mine or mining claim.

The liens provided for in this article except as provided in subsection B of this section are also preferred to all liens, mortgages and other encumbrances of which the lienholder had no actual or constructive notice at the time he commenced labor or commenced to furnish materials except any mortgage or deed of trust that is given as security for a loan made by a construction lender as defined in section 33-992.01, subsection A, paragraph 1, if the mortgage or deed of trust is recorded within ten days after labor was commenced or the materials commenced to be furnished. B.

C. If no labor commences on a property or no materials are furnished to the property, a registered professional may record and foreclose on a lien at any time after the registered professional’s work has commenced if the registered professional’s work has added value to the property.
