Calculate Your Deadline to Send a Visibility Doc

Many states require contractors and suppliers to send a visibility document at the start of work on a job site in order to preserve their right to file a mechanics lien if they’re not paid.

Document requirements and the deadline to send these documents vary state-to-state. It’s important to adhere to state requirements and not miss any deadlines in order to maintain lien rights.

Deadlines to send visibility notices are usually calculated from the first day you furnish labor or materials to the job site. The deadline to send a notice usually falls soon after you start work and sometimes before you’ve even sent an invoice. For this reason most companies choose to be proactive and send these visibility notices on every single project as insurance for their payment.

Too many companies come to Levelset hoping to file a lien to get paid, only to find out they missed a deadline to secure lien rights. That’s why our platform features a simple, proactive Deadline Tracking tool to tell you exactly which documents you’re required to send and when you need to send them in order to remain in a position where you can get paid.
