What is a Notice of Furnishing in Pennsylvania?
Mechanic's Liens are governed by Title 49 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes.
The Notice of Furnishing is a document providing notice to the owner that the start of labor or delivery of materials has commenced. The notice must be filed with the registry within forty-five (45) days of first furnishing labor or materials on a construction project. The Notice must also be served by certified mail on the owner within that time. If the Notice is served too late, you may still file a mechanic's lien but that lien will only include the unpaid services within 45 days of service and thereafter. 501.3.
The notice must contain the following: (1) a general description of the labor or materials furnished; (2) the full name and address of the person supplying the services or items; (3) the full name and address of the person that contracted for the services or items; and (4) a description sufficient to identify the searchable project, based on the description in the Notice of Commencement. 501.3(b)(3). In addition, the document must meet all state and local standards for recorded documents.
