NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER

EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE PAID YOUR CONTRACTOR IN FULL, if the


person or firm that has given you this notice is not paid in full for labor, service,
equipment, or material provided or to be provided to your construction project, a
lien may be placed on your property. Foreclosure of the lien may lead to loss of all or
part of your property. You may wish to protect yourself against this by (1) requiring
your contractor to provide a signed release by the person or firm that has given you
this notice before making payment to your contractor, or (2) any other method that
is appropriate under the circumstances.
This notice is required by law to be served by the undersigned as a statement of your
legal rights. This notice is not intended to reflect upon the financial condition of the
contractor or the person employed by you on the construction project.
If you record a notice of cessation or completion of your construction project, you
must within 10 days after recording, send a copy of the notice of completion to your
contractor and the person or firm that has given you this notice. The notice must be
sent by registered or certified mail. Failure to send the notice will extend the deadline
to record a claim of lien. You are not required to send the notice if you are a
residential homeowner of a dwelling containing four or fewer units.
