In Nevada residential ---- required to file a prelien?

In the state of Nevada, is a subcontractor hired by a Prime Contractor hired by a General Contractor hired by a homeowner, required to file a prelien? Or is the Recovery notice given by the Prime Contractor all that should be done and as a subcontractor, we do not file a NOtice of Right to LIen?

Good morning, before anything, when work begins, you must send a Notice of Right to Lien. Most claimants having a potential lien claim are required to serve a notice of right to lien as a condition precedent to a valid lien claim. When required, the lien claimant must serve the following people with this notice: The property owner. The prime contractor if the claimant is a subcontractor or equipment or material supplier. The following lien claimants are not required to serve a notice of right to lien as a condition precedent to a valid lien claim: Claimants performing only labor to the real property (laborers). Claimants having rights under NRS 608.150. Prime contractors or other persons having a direct contract with the property owner. Serve the notice of right to lien any time after the claimant first provided material, work, or services for the improvement of the real property. If there is a contract between the parties, the amount of the lien claim is limited to the unpaid balance owed under the contract. If there is no contract, the amount of the lien claim is equal to the fair market value of the material, work, or services. Serve the notice of right to lien by either: Personal delivery. Certified mail. Then if the homeowner hasn't paid for work, you would record and send a Notice of Intent to Lien and continue with the lien procedure.
