Owner's Consent to Mechanic's Lien Filing

When working on owner-occupied residential projects, contractors other than the main contractor need to ensure that the owner has provided consent for a lien filing if the bill goes unpaid. In Missouri, these individuals can use a Consent by Owner form to fulfill this requirement.

Request that the owner completes the consent form when working on the repair or remodeling of or an addition to an owner-occupied residential property of four units or less. R.S.M.O 429.013. This document identifies the parties, the project, and the property, and must be signed in the presence of a notary.

Record the completed consent form, because otherwise, no person other than the original contractor, who performed any work or labor or furnished any materials is eligible to claim a lien on the same job unless an owner of the building or structure, pursuant to a written contract, has agreed to be liable for such costs in the event that the costs are not paid. R.S.M.O 429.013(2). The consent form takes care of that issue.

In addition, every original contractor must retain a copy of the notice and any consent signed by an owner, and shall furnish a copy to any eligible person upon his request. R.S.M.O 429.013(3).

This form is important because it protects the interests of valid claimants other than the primary contractor. Without it, full payment of the amount due under a contract to the contractor is a complete defense to all liens filed by any person performing work or furnishing materials. R.S.M.O 429.013(4). Partial payment to the contractor shall only act as an offset to the extent of such payment. Id.

Any person falsifying the signature of an owner, with intent to defraud, in the consent of owner shall be guilty of a class D felony. R.S.M.O 429.013(5). Any original contractor who knowingly issues a fraudulent consent of owner shall be guilty of a class D felony. Id.

If you have any questions about obtaining an owner's consent to file a lien, or other issues related to liens in Missouri, please speak with a qualified attorney.

Easy to download and use the forms, however two forms needed for my county recording were not included.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback Frank. We'll look into finding and including the additional supplemental documents. Sometimes supplemental documents have to be generated by the county's system, specific to the transaction.

The documents received and information provided to assist with the recording was exactly what was needed for a successful title transfer. I would highly recommend this site and will continue using it for future transactions.

I have an apple phone. I could not fill in the form to pay because apple phones do not have a dash that can be used when the field requires a phone number with a dash. I had to borrow an android phone in which the telephone keypad had a dash that could be used. It was easy to pay using an android phone but impossible to pay using an apple phone. Remove the requirement for dashes to allow apple phones to use this service.

The documents themselves are fine and the information provided with them is helpful. I find the actual processing of the documents, however, to be difficult particularly once the document has been saved. First, I note that the box for the date only allows entry of the last 2 digits of the year. Unfortunately, my download only allows me to enter one of the 2 digits required. When I delete it repeatedly, it eventually allows both digits to be entered but puts them in extremely small text and in superscrypt. I have not found a solution to this problem and am not sure the deed can even be recorded with this problem.

Another problem is that if you try to revise the document after you have saved it the curser goes to the end of the line after each key entry. This means that there basically is no way to efficiently save the document for reworking later since you will have to delete everything you have entered in the text box unless you only need to make a single keystroke change or are willing to replace the curser after each entry. Try that with a long property description!

Please note that I am using a Mac to prepare my documents and perhaps this is part of an "incompatibility problem". However, I didn't see a disclaimer regarding Mac use and so would expect the documents to perform correctly. Overall, I give the program a "2 star" rating because I am experiencing significant difficulties in entering dates in the documents even before saving them and because saving your work for later revision appears to be basically unworkable.
