Frequently Asked Questions
Always notarize Louisiana lien waivers — no exceptions
Louisiana is strict on the notarization requirement for renunciations of privilege. An un-notarized waiver has no legal effect — it neither releases your lien rights nor protects the GC or owner.
Check whether a Notice of Contract was filed on every Louisiana job
The existence of a Notice of Contract changes your deadline and your notice requirements. Check the parish mortgage records at the start of every job.
Yes. Louisiana lien waivers (called 'renunciations of privilege') must be notarized to be valid under Louisiana Revised Statutes §9:4822. An un-notarized renunciation does not legally release lien rights in Louisiana.
In Louisiana, a statement of claim or privilege must be recorded within 30 days of substantial completion of the project (60 days for residential). The general contractor must file a Notice of Contract at the start — this triggers the lien window timeline.
Louisiana requires the GC to file a Notice of Contract in the parish mortgage records before or at the start of construction. This notice triggers the formal lien rights timeline. Without a recorded Notice of Contract, subcontractor and supplier lien periods are different and more complex.
