Legal Question in Construction Law in Utah

Re: Lein Laws

You may file a lien - here is an excerpt for your info: he new provisions also require subcontractors and suppliers to file a preliminary lien notice with the State Construction Registry within twenty days after either (a) commencement of their work or the commencement of furnishing labor, service, equipment, and material to a construction project of (b) the filing of a notice of commencement. However, when subcontractors or suppliers fail to file a preliminary-lien notice within the twenty-day period, they are precluded from seeking any claim for compensation earned for performance of labor or service or supply of materials or equipment furnished to the construction project prior to the expiration of five days after their late filing of a preliminary notice Ð a prerequisite now to the filing of a notice of lien. However, such a late subcontractor or supplier may still may pursue the person with whom they contracted.
