In order to have lien rights, you must have sent the owner a Notice to Owner either before you started working, or within 45 days of your first day of work. If you did that, the next step , generally speaking, is to record a Claim of Lien in the official records where the property is located within 90 days of your last day working at the property. Then, within 15 days of recording, send a copy of the Claim of Lien to the owner. A construction attorney in your area will be able to help with all of this. You may have other claims against the owner or contractor, even if you do not have lien rights.
