Questions answered? Let's get started!

Mechanic's Liens are used to encumber the title to an owner's property (real estate) when a contractor, materials supplier, or other laborer such as a subcontractor has not been paid for labor, materials, or equipment provided. In Ohio, this is accomplished by filing an Affidavit of Mechanic's Lien with the county recording office in the county where the property is located.

Any person, or the person's agent, who wishes to claim a mechanic's lien, shall make and file for record in the office of the county recorder in the counties in which the improved property is located, an affidavit showing the amount due over and above all legal setoffs, a description of the property to be charged with the lien, the name and address of the person to or for whom the labor or work was performed or material was furnished, the name of the owner, part owner, or lessee, if known, the name and address of the lien claimant, and the first and last dates that the lien claimant performed any labor or work or furnished any material to the improvement giving rise to the claimant's lien. Ohio Revised Code 1311.06(A).

If the affidavit is recorded, the omission or inaccuracy of any address in the affidavit does not affect its validity. The affidavit may be verified before any person authorized to administer oaths, whether agent for the owner, part owner, lessee, lien claimant, or an interested or other party. Id.

If the lien arises in connection with a one- or two-family dwelling or in connection with a residential unit of condominium property, the lien must be filed within sixty days from the date on which the last labor or work was performed or material was furnished by the person claiming the lien. Ohio Revised Code 1311.06(B)(1). For oil or gas facilities, the lien must be claimed within one hundred twenty days from the date on which the last labor or work was performed or material was furnished by the person claiming the lien. Ohio Revised Code 1311.06(B)(2). All other liens must be recorded within seventy-five days from the date on which the last of the labor or work was performed or material was furnished by the person claiming the lien. Ohio Revised Code 1311.06(B)(3).

Any person filing an affidavit shall serve a copy of the affidavit on the owner, part owner, or lessee of the improved property or his designee, within thirty days after filing the affidavit. Ohio Revised Code 1311.07. If the affidavit cannot be served, then the person shall serve the copy by posting it in some conspicuous place on the premises of the improved property within ten days after the expiration of the thirty days. Id.

We could never figure out how to get to the website to order.

The filled out form could have been placed on the real form then deleted with current info. Form quite simplified but example & help good.

This is the first time that I have used this service. An employee at the Clerk and Register office in Arizona suggested that I try Deeds.com to find the form I needed and the county office could not provide. I am a licensed Realtor in Colorado with a 43-year career and this service has not been necessary in my own state but it was extremely helpful in finding a form in Arizona. Five star rating for the very user-friendly website!

The forms were immediately available for download, which was nice. However, I was not impressed by the lack of several features: 1) there was no way to edit set text in the form, such as where it says you should consult an attorney. That is not necessary for recording the deed and I wanted to deleted it, but could not. 2) Also, under the "Notes" section, there is a limited area to write; I tried adding a fuller explanation of something, but the form would not accept or include it when I printed the final document. The form may do the job, but it's not very sophisticated or elegant.

The deed is presently at the auditors office and will be recorded after approval from zoning board. As far as I know, everything is going along well. A self addressed envelope was left at recorder's office for return after recording is complete.
