If the general (prime) contractor did not provide the bond information at the time of entering into the contract, you should request it verbally or on writing as soon as possible. Bond claims and liens have very similar deadlines and requirements having all the necessary information at hand is of utmost importance. If you still don’t get the bond information, in most cases you can get it requesting it to the project owner. If you have the bonding company information but not the bond number, you can still file a bond claim.

If you missed the deadline to send a notice or file a lien claim for one specific month and you are still owed for more months after that, you may still qualify to file a lien claim. The deadline chart above will assist in guiding you through each month’s deadlines.

No. You only have to pay if you want to print the documents you qualified for. How will my documents look like?

Yes. If you think about it, you could get paid the balance of one month but not others. Then you would be required to release the lien for the amount that was paid but would have lost your rights for the other months. It is always better to secure your rights in all forms possible by using the tools created to protect you.
