Get help filing your Virginia Preliminary Notice
A Virginia lien typically only obligates the owner to pay claimants from money it has yet to pay the general contractor. Subcontractors and suppliers who send 43-11 Notices to the owner and/or general contractor before beginning work or supplying materials take the first step to reverse this, and obligate the owner to its claim. The second step is after work is complete, where upon a second 43-11 notice must be sent. This second step is due within 30 days of completion of the claimant’s work.
Rules and regulations for sending a Virginia Preliminary Notice
Deadline for Property Owner / Public Entity General Contractor to send the Virginia Preliminary Notice
30 days after
Last Furnishing Date
If you delivered a 43-11 Preliminary Notice before beginning work, this is the deadline to provide your 43-11 Post-Work Notice. Both notices must be sent to take advantage of Section 43-11, and prevent the property owner from raising the Defense of Payment.
Who should you send this notice to?
Mail to the Property Owner / Public Entity General Contractor with Affidavit of Service
After completing the Virginia 43-11 Notice Form | Free Downloadable Template, 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.
