After completing the Georgia Notice to Contractor 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.

Preliminary notice filed vs non required.

Hi Eugen, while you wait for an attorney response, check out this article that addresses your question https://www.levelset.com/preliminary-notice/. You might find your answer there.

Is a notice of commencement and/ or preliminary notice necessary before filing a lien?

In Georgia, if you have a contract with the GC no preliminary notice is required. In South Carolina, you must send a notice of furnishing labor or materials, but there is no stringent time deadline for that notice. In both states your claim of lien must be recorded within 90 days after your last day of providing labor or materials for the project. I hope this helps clarify.
