Under Oregon’s laws, those who work on your property or provide labor, equipment, services or materials and are not

paid have a right to enforce their claim for payment against your property. This claim is known as a construction lien.

If your contractor fails to pay subcontractors, materials suppliers, rental equipment suppliers, service providers or

laborers, or neglects to make other legally required payments, the people who are owed money can look to your property

for payment, even if you have paid your contractor in full.

The law states that all people hired by a contractor to provide you with materials, equipment, labor or services must give

you a Notice of Right to a Lien to let you know what they have provided.

WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELF ARE:

•

that this Notice of Right to a Lien may result in a lien against your property unless all those supplying a

RECOGNIZE

Notice of Right to a Lien have been paid.

•

LEARN more about the lien laws and the meaning of this notice by contacting the Construction Contractors Board, an

attorney or the firm sending this notice.

•

ASK for a statement of the labor, equipment, services or materials provided to your property from each party that

sends you a notice of right to a lien.

•

WHEN PAYING your contractor for materials, equipment, labor or services, you may make checks payable jointly to

the contractor and the firm furnishing materials, equipment, labor or services for which you have received a notice of

right to a lien.

•

OR use one of the methods suggested by the “Information Notice to Owners.” If you have not received such a notice,

contact the Construction Contractors Board.

•

GET EVIDENCE that all firms from whom you have received a notice of right to a lien have been paid or have

waived the right to claim a lien against your property.

•

CONSULT an attorney, a professional escrow company or your mortgage lender
