To review, a Notice of Completion in California is a document that the property owner may file at the end of the project. It reduces the time within which a contractor may file a mechanics lien from 90 days to 30 days after a project is substantially complete.

Notice of completion is a notice filed by the owner of a construction project, in the county records office, stating that construction has been completed and all creditors have been paid.

The Notice of Non-Responsibility is one of the most misunderstood and ineffectively used of all the legal tools available to property owners in California construction law. ... The mechanics lien is a tool used by a claimant who has not been paid for performing work or supplying materials to a construction project.

The mechanic's lien must be recorded within 90 days of the completion of work unless a recorded notice of completion exists. When a notice of completion is filed, alternative deadlines apply. A general contactor must record a lien within 60 days. A subcontractor or supplier must record a lien within 30 days.

Simply put, a lien waiver functions as a receipt. Lien waivers provide evidence that a payment was made (or promised); and in consideration of that payment or promise of payment, a party waives their rights to lien for a corresponding amount.

The purpose of a lien is to give your creditor a stake in your property until you pay off a debt. It's a charge against or interest in property to secure payment of a debt or performance of an obligation.

A lien waiver is a document drafted by a potential lien claimant such as a contractor, subcontractor, materials provider, equipment lessor or other party to the construction project (the claimant) that states they have received payment and thereby waive any future lien rights to the owner's property.

A lien gives the lien holder (the subcontractor) an assurance that they will get paid by giving them a claim against the real property. In other words, a lien uses the property as security. If the lien is recorded with the county, as it should be in order to make it official, it can cloud the title.

A partial payment waiver is used to waive lien filing rights for labor, material, or other services that have already been performed. A final waiver removes any lien rights once the last payment has been made.

Colorado does not require lien waivers to be notarized in order to be effective.

Missouri does not require that lien waivers be notarized in order to be effective. However, there are specific signature requirements that apply to residential jobs.

Colorado law requires that a mechanic's lien must be enforced within 6 months of the date the project was completed, or labor or materials were last furnished to the project. If this 6-month period passes without an action being filed to enforce the lien, the lien expires.
