Rules and regulations for sending a Minnesota Mechanics Lien

Deadline for Property Owner / Public Entity to send the Minnesota Mechanics Lien

120 days after

Last Furnishing Date

A Mechanic Lien Statement must be filed with the proper recording office and served upon the property owner and the party who hired the claimant (if different from owner), within 120 days after last furnishing labor and/or materials to the project. This deadline marks the end of this 120 day period.

Who should you send this notice to?

Mail to the Property Owner / Public Entity with Affidavit of Service

After completing the Minnesota Mechanics Lien Form, you must deliver it to the appropriate parties required by statute. Notices are typically served on the property owner and, for sub-tier parties, the general contractor. However, depending on the type of notice, it can be helpful to send notices to anyone else who is in charge of your payment, like a lender or surety company on the project.

What is the next step after Preliminary notice has been sent?

I recommend a law suit. It is likely to late to file a lien as it is past the 120 day mark.

Submitting a Lien Under a DBA

Your question is very confusing, and as asked seems to be asking whether you need a separate Levelset account for each of your LLCs. For that, you’ll have to talk with Levelset.

That said, as a legal document, a mechanics’ lien should reflect the full legal name of the claimant. Best practice would be to identify your company as XYZ, LLC dba Service Today at least the first time it is mentioned in the document. Each LLC is a separate entity, so each of your “Service Today” companies are independent of each other; they are not all one entity just because they share a common DBA. Furthermore, technically, you can’t have several LLCs under a single DBA, though several LLCs might be able to use the same DBA so long as doing so doesn’t create confusion in the marketplace as to which LLC the customer is working with when they’re working with “Service Today.”

If you haven’t had this conversation with an attorney who can review your company documents to ensure you’re not unwittingly ignoring formalities and risking the wall intended to protect each company’s assets from the other companies’ liabilities, I encourage you to do so.
