Notice of Right to Lien
(Mechanic's Lien) (NV)

Summary

This template is for a notice of right to lien that may be used by a potential mechanic's lien claimant in Nevada who does not have a direct contract with a property owner to provide the owner with the statutorily required notice that it has a right to place a lien on the property. This template contains practical guidance and drafting notes. Nevada law has affirmed that due process must be preserved for a lien claimant to assert a lien on a landowner's property. See Hardy Industries v. SNMARK, 245 P.3d 1149 (2010). This due process issue is not a problem when the owner has a direct contract with the lien claimant. For those without direct contracts with the owner, Nevada law requires that any time after first providing work, materials, or equipment to a project, the lien claimant must serve a notice of right to lien on the owner and the project's general contractor. Nev. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 108.245(1). In addition, if the project is residential any lien claimant must serve the project owner with a 15-day notice of intent to lien. Nev. Rev. Stat. Ann § 108.226(6). This template mirrors the statutory notice set out in Nev. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 108.245(1) which requires that the notice of right to lien be in a form substantially similar to this template.
