Notice to Owner of Real Property

Your real estate may be subject to sale to satisfy the amount asserted by this claim. However, your real estate

cannot be sold until the facts and issues which form the basis of this claim are decided in a legal proceeding

before a court of law. The lien claimant is required by law to commence suit to enforce this claim.

The claimant filing this lien claim shall forfeit all rights to enforce the lien and shall be required to discharge

the lien of record, if the claimant fails to bring an action in the Superior Court, in the county in which the real

property is situated, to establish the lien claim:

1. Within one year of the date of the last provision of work, services, material or equipment, payment for

which the lien claim was filed; or

2. Within 30 days following receipt of written notice, by personal service or certified mail, return receipt

requested, from the owner requiring the claimant to commence an action to establish the lien claim.

You will be given proper notice of the proceeding and an opportunity to challenge this claim and set forth your

position. If, after you (and/or your contractor or subcontractor) have had the opportunity to challenge this lien

claim, the court of law enters a judgment against you and in favor of the claimant filing this lien claim, and

thereafter you fail to pay that judgment, your real estate may then be sold to satisfy the judgment.

You may choose to avoid subjecting your real estate to sale by doing either of the following:

1. You (or your contractor or subcontractor) can pay the claimant and obtain a discharge of lien claim

from the claimant; or

2. You (or your contractor or subcontractor) can cause the lien claim to be discharged by filing a surety

bond or making a deposit of funds are provided for in section 31 of P.L. 1993, c. 318 (C. 2A:44A-31).

If you (or your contractor or subcontractor) choose to discharge the lien claim by filing a surety bond or

making a deposit of funds are provided in section 31 of P.L. 1993, c. 318 (C. 2A:44A-31), you will retain your

right to challenge this lien claim in a legal proceeding before a court of law.
