Frequently Asked Questions
Ohio residential vs. commercial deadlines differ — know yours
Ohio has a 75-day deadline for residential and 60-day for commercial lien filings. Track project type at the start of every job so you apply the right deadline.
Serve the Ohio Notice of Furnishing within 21 days on residential jobs
Ohio's residential preliminary notice window is 21 days from first furnishing. Serve it on day one to be safe — there's no downside to serving it early.
In Ohio, a mechanic's lien must be filed within 75 days of the last date labor or materials were furnished for residential projects, and within 60 days for commercial projects. After filing, an action to enforce must be brought within 6 years.
Ohio requires subcontractors and suppliers to provide a Notice of Furnishing to the property owner within 21 days of first furnishing labor or materials on residential projects. Commercial projects have different rules. Missing the residential notice window limits lien rights.
Ohio ORC §1311.32 restricts advance lien waivers. A provision in a contract that requires a subcontractor to waive lien rights before work is performed is unenforceable in Ohio. Waivers must be tied to an identified payment.
