The Notice of Intent to Lien is essentially a 10-day notice to the property owner before you record a mechanics lien. Filing a mechanics lien in Arkansas must be done within 120 days of your last day of work, so you have to make sure that you serve the 10-day notice before this 120-day period elapses.

When should an Arkansas mechanics' lien Claim be filed? Prime contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and design professionals must file a mechanics' lien within 120 days of the last date the claimant provided labor or materials to the project.

An Arkansas Statement of Account and Claim of Lien must be filed with the circuit clerk of the county in which the property is located within 120 days of a claimant's last date or furnishing labor and/or materials to the project. Missing this deadline is fatal to a claimant's lien rights.

Senior liens are those with the highest priority (often, but not always, the first lien recorded on a property), to be paid back in full before other liens are paid.

Liens generally follow the "first in time, first in right" rule, which says that whichever lien is recorded first in the land records has higher priority than later recorded liens. For example, a mortgage has priority over a judgment lien if the lender records it before the judgment creditor records its lien.

A lien that has priority over another lien is called a "superior" lien. A low-priority lien is called a "junior" lien. If a home has more than one lien, priority determines the lienholders' rights following a foreclosure sale.
