A payoff request allows a third party to receive the current balance due to release a lien or facilitate a business transfer (bulk sale transfer or liquor license). To release a lien or facilitate a bulk sale transfer, businesses must be in good standing to receive a payoff request.
In Minnesota, an action to enforce a mechanics lien must be initiated within 1 year from the date of the lien claimant's last furnishing of labor or materials to the project. If a claimant records their lien close to Minnesota's 120-day filing deadline, they will have about 8 months to enforce the claim.
Common notification methods include sending multiple unpaid bills in the mail but these bills can be lost or not reach the appropriate person before a lien is placed. They can also arrive when the previous homeowner was at the property but cease by the time a new homeowner moves in.
