Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Utah

I am a small time licensed general contractor. I did a small remodel job for a client. He was very pleased with the result, but is dragging his feet on paying me in full. We did sign a simple contract prior to beginning the job, which states " prompt payment is expected. If payment in full is not received within 30 days of completion of job, a 25% late fee on unpaid balance will be incurred" He is well over the 30 day period. I informed him that I am charging the late fee, and he has since ceased communication. Do I lien the property, or proceed to small claims court? What does a lien cost? He owes me @ $2000.00. I worked hard for the client, and could sure use the $$. Thanks.
