The 5-Step Protection Workflow

Contractor organizing payment documents and construction plans

1. Preliminary 20-Day Notice

Serve notice within 20 days of starting work to secure your full lien rights. This tells the owner and lender you are on the job.

2. Project Tracking

Monitor completion dates and payment schedules. Our system keeps track of your filing window so you don't miss a deadline.

3. Document Preparation

If payment is withheld, we prepare the formal Mechanics Lien document including the verified legal property description.

4. Recording & Service

The lien is recorded in the appropriate Arizona County Recorder's office and served to all required parties via certified mail.

5. Payment & Release

Once payment is secured, we record a Release of Lien to clear the property title and conclude the matter.

Arizona Contractor Payment FAQ

Plain-English answers for contractors before they decide whether to request document help or attorney review.

Is this a law firm?

No. AZMechanicsLien.com is positioned as a document preparation and deadline workflow service. Complex disputes, foreclosure actions, bond claims, and legal strategy should be reviewed by a licensed Arizona attorney.

Why does the 20-day notice matter?

Arizona law generally requires a preliminary twenty day notice before recording a mechanics lien. A late notice may limit what work is protected, so the safest move is to send it early.

Can a deadline be shorter than 120 days?

Yes. ARS 33-993 states that a recorded notice of completion can shorten the lien recording window to 60 days after that notice is recorded. The calculator is only an estimator.

Who is this built for?

Licensed Arizona contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and trade businesses that need a cleaner way to protect payment rights and track project paperwork.

What happens after I request help?

The intake should collect job details, invoice amount, first and last furnishing dates, owner information, contractor information, and any existing notices so the project can be screened quickly.

What should replace the placeholders?

Before launch, add verified contact information, terms, privacy policy, proof points, county recorder workflow, payment processor links, and attorney-review/referral language if that is part of the offer.

Fast intake

Start with the facts that decide the window.

Send the basic job details. The intake is stored securely for review and should be followed by a document-prep quote or attorney referral when the facts call for legal advice.
