Frequently Asked Questions
Serve Pennsylvania's 30-day notice before filing the lien
Pennsylvania requires a notice of intent to lien 30 days before filing. Use this as a collections tool first — most owners pay within the 30-day window rather than have a lien recorded.
Document owner awareness of your Pennsylvania subcontract
Pennsylvania sub lien rights depend on the owner having prior knowledge of your subcontract. Get written notice to the owner at the start of every sub job — email confirmation is sufficient.
In Pennsylvania, a claim of lien must be filed within 6 months of the completion of the claimant's work. After filing, an action to enforce must be commenced within 2 years. Pennsylvania also requires the claimant to give the owner 30-day advance notice before filing the lien.
Pennsylvania does not require a preliminary notice before work begins. However, before filing a mechanic's lien, the claimant must serve the property owner with a 30-day notice of intent to file. This notice gives the owner a chance to pay before the lien is recorded.
Yes, but with restrictions. A Pennsylvania subcontractor can only file a lien if the subcontract was known to the property owner prior to commencement of the work, or if the GC or owner consented in writing. Unknown sub-subcontracts have no lien rights against the property.
