FAQ
Intent to lien refers to the formal notice that a contractor or supplier intends to file a mechanic's lien against a property. This notice serves as a warning to property owners that a lien could be placed if payment disputes arise. Understanding this concept is important for both homeowners and contractors, particularly in the context of an Illinois Request by Owner to Subcontractor for List of Suppliers, Labor - Mechanic Liens - Individual.
In fact, the subcontractor doesn't have any contract with the owner neither written nor verbal!However, presuming that the subcontractor on the project has a written contract with someone, they can still file a lien even if they don't have a written agreement with the property owner.
Mechanics Liens must be recorded by a "subcontractor" within 90 days of "completion" or "cessation of work" and a general contractor who has a direct contract with the owner must record within 90 days of completion or of cessation of labor, unless completion or cessation of labor has occurred.
The simplest way to prevent liens and ensure that subcontractors and suppliers are paid is to pay with joint checks. This is when both parties endorse the check. Compare the contractor's materials or labor bill to the schedule of payments in your contract and the Preliminary Notices.
A lien is essentially a claim for repayment of a debt. In the construction context, a lien is of considerable importance because it offers considerable power to a subcontractor to seek payment from an owner through the property itself for a debt owed to the subcontractor by a general contractor or other third party.
Legally, an unpaid contractor, subcontractor or supplier can file a lien (sometimes called a mechanic's lien) that could eventually force the sale of your home in place of compensation.Conversely, if the contractor who worked on your project does not pay for materials, a supplier could place a lien on your property.
Under Illinois law, any mechanics lien should be filed in the County Recorder of Deeds where the property being liened is located. This is crucial as the lien must be filed not only in the correct county but the correct office as well. The fees and specific document formatting vary depending on your county.
Invalid Liens A lien stays in the county records and on your property title until you take action to remove it.If the contractor, subcontractor, laborer, or material supplier fails to follow any of the specific time frames, you can petition the court to remove the lien.
If a general contractor refuses to pay his subcontractors, they can make a claim against the payment bond. The surety company will pay out the subcontractors for at least part of their money and take the contractor to court.
Mechanic's liens create a cloud on title, meaning that they appear in public property records. Liens are sometimes said to travel with the land, meaning that anyone who buys your house would take the property subject to the contractor's lien (or, more likely, demand that you pay it off first).
