What is Pre-Lien Notice?

In the construction industry, a pre-lien notice is a formal notification sent by a subcontractor or supplier to the property owner, general contractor, and/or other relevant parties involved in a construction project. This notice is typically sent before any work begins on the project and serves as a warning that the subcontractor or supplier has the right to file a lien against the property if they are not paid for their services or materials. The pre-lien notice is a proactive measure taken by subcontractors and suppliers to protect their rights and ensure they are compensated for their work.The pre-lien notice typically includes important information such as the subcontractor's or supplier's contact information, the amount owed for their services or materials, and a description of the work or materials
