In Colorado, claimants must serve a property owner with preliminary (a.k.a. "prelien") notice before claiming a mechanic's lien. This is required as a means of protection for the owner by warning the property owner, prime contractor, or any other party that a mechanics lien will be filed unless payment of past due amounts is made.

To preserve lien rights for work performed or laborers or materials furnished, there must be a notice of intent to file a lien statement served upon the owner (or reputed owner) of the property or the owner's agent and the principal or prime contractor or his or her agent at least ten days before the time of filing the lien statement with the county clerk and recorder. C.R.S. 38-22-109(3). The notice of intent must be served through personal service or by registered or certified mail, with a return receipt requested, and addressed to the last known address of such persons. Id. An affidavit of service or mailing must also be filed for record with the lien statement and will constitute proof of such service. Id.

The notice form contains the following information: (1) the lien claimant's name and address; (2) the property owner's name and address; (3) any common name of the property; (4) a legal description of the property; and (5) the general contractor's name and address. The form also contains two affidavits of service to verify service was made on either the owner or contractor or both.

The release of mortgage form was OK, and accepted at the recorder's office, but there were some problems. Many of the fields to type in were too small to accept the data, and I could not find a way to change the field size or use a smaller font. Otherwise I was satisfied.

Great resource and everything went smoothly except email was performed through autofill prompted by the system but the autofill added a letter that gave wrong email. I can still sign in with wrong email since the system recognizes it as mine even though it is wrong. May be my fault and not the system since I did not catch the discrepancy in time. I would suggest a field that allows a correction to any misinformation prior to signing out from the initial sign on. Still think it is a great resource if all documents are processed and accepted by the pwers to be. Thanks.

Need to offer option to download ALL forms as a single (bookmarked) PDF, rather than as separates... Quite inefficient as is.
