Prime Contractor Lien Claims in Wisconsin

Mechanic's Liens place a block or burden on a property owner's title when a claimant (such as a contractor, materials supplier, or other laborer such as a subcontractor) has not been paid for labor, materials, or equipment provided. In Wisconsin, mechanic's liens are governed under Chapter 779 of the state legislative code.

To claim a lien in Wisconsin, the claimant must file a claim of lien with the office of the clerk of courts in the county where the property is located. WIS. STAT. 779.06(1). The claim must be filed within six (6) months from the last date the lien claimant performed, furnished, or procured labor, services, materials, plans, or specifications. Id

The lien claimant must also serve a copy of the claim for lien on the owner of the property on which the lien is placed within thirty (30) days after filing the claim. Id.

No lien claim may be filed unless, at least 30 days before timely filing of the lien claim, the lien claimant has served the owner with a written notice of intent to file a lien claim. WIS. STAT. 779.06(2). The notice is required to be given whether or not the claimant has been required to and has given any previous notice. Id. It also briefly describes the nature of the claim, its amount, and the land and improvement to which it relates. Id

The release of mortgage form was OK, and accepted at the recorder's office, but there were some problems. Many of the fields to type in were too small to accept the data, and I could not find a way to change the field size or use a smaller font. Otherwise I was satisfied.
