Preliminary Notice in Oregon -- Notice of Right to Lien

Oregon's Construction Lien Law is codified at ORS 87.001 to 87.060 and 87.075 to 87.093.

"Except for when material, equipment, services or labor is furnished at the request of the owner, a person furnishing any materials, equipment, services or labor for which a lien may be perfected, must give a notice of right to a lien to the owner of the site." O.R.S. 87.021(1). In Oregon, this means that contractors must send a property owner a preliminary notice if they ever intend on later filing of a mechanic's lien. Even if they don't anticipate needing a lien, it's generally good practice to send out such notices.

The notice of right to a lien may be given at any time during the work, but the notice only protects the right to perfect a lien for materials, equipment and labor or services provided after a date which is eight days, not including Saturdays, Sundays and other holidays, before the notice is delivered or mailed. Id.

The Notice includes the following information: (1) name and address of the lien claimant, (2) name and address of the property owner, (3) description of services, materials, or equipment furnished, (4) customer's name, and (5) the address where items were furnished. O.R.S. 87.023. Send the Notice by registered or certified mail with a return receipt requested, to ensure there are no issues of whether the proper party ever received it.

The system was easy to use and download my documents but the way the packages are set up it was confusing and I wish there was a way to delete an item from a package if you make a mistake.

You form was good the only thing that did not work was the download to fill it out !!! I use a Mac system and maybe that's what the issue was. I filled it out by hand and it worked for the purpose .

Reply from Staff

Thanks for the kind words, Roman. Glad the form worked for you. For the fillable fields, the PDF opens best in a dedicated reader like Preview or Adobe Acrobat rather than inside a browser window, which can sometimes flatten them out. We appreciate your business.

Lee County, FL did accept the "Satisfaction of Mortgage" form. It was easy to fill out except for a couple of areas. Your fill in areas need to accommodate for whatever space needed for the pertinent information we as customers have to fill out. As individuals, banks have their own. Example when there are more than 1 party and information needed. Example of Document #; I was 1 number short (using Exhibit A was ridiculous.) So I had to write in the # after printing. Very unprofessional looking on a legal document. Just saying. Also, in Lee County, FL your document # is called "Instrument #, not said in your instructions. Hope this information helps for updates on your forms.
