PREPARING THE MISSOURI MECHANICS LIEN Every mechanics lien typically must contain the owner's name, a general description of the property and location, the name of the hiring party, the first and last date of work a description of the work performed, and the amount of money owed.

§429.100 RSMo. requires all persons, except a general contractor, to serve upon the property owner a notice ten days prior to filing a mechanics lien. The notice must state that the person has a claim on the improvements to the property, the amount of the claim, and who owes that amount.

A Mechanic's lien is a statutory creation granting general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers the right to file a lien against a property. Its purpose is to ensure individuals are paid for the services they render and the materials they supply to the improvement of real property.

In Missouri, when the claim is paid, the lien claimant is required to file a release of mechanics lien statement in the circuit court in which the lien was filed. This should be done whether or not requested by the party making payment as failure to file the release within 10 days may result in a claim for damages.

The Missouri Mechanics Lien Release Form is used to cancel a lien that has already been filed. It's most often used to release a lien claim after a lien claimant receives payment. However, they may also be released based on settlements, legal controversies, because they expired, or more.
