Most states require contractors and other workers to provide a written notice to a property owner that lets he or she know that a project is about to commence. Sending the notice is necessary to protect any later mechanic's lien rights. In Tennessee, the form of notice is called a "Notice to Owner."

Any contractor who is about to enter into a contract, either written or oral, for improving real property with the owner or owners thereof shall, prior to commencing the improvement of the real property or making of the contract, deliver, by registered mail or otherwise, to the owner or owners of the real property to be improved a written notice. Tenn. Prop. Code 66-11-203.

The purpose of the Notice is to identify who the contractor is and inform the owner that the contractor is about to commence work and will have a right to claim a lien under State law. Id.

The notice identifies the parties, the delivery date, and the intended location and start date for the work or improvement. It must be sent before the work begins or else the person sending the notice may only be able to claim a lien for work arising after the notice is sent (if sent late). This document does not need to be recorded, but the potential claimant should either deliver it by hand or via USPS Registered mail or another delivery service that offers confirmation.

This article is provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice or relied upon as any substitute for speaking with an attorney. Please consult a Tennessee attorney familiar with construction law for any issues regarding mechanic's liens or sending notice to an owner.

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.

Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

The product I purchased looks great and I added Adobe to be able to copy it, but for some reason I can't,so I will delete Adobe and then try again to copy what i paid for. I have all the PDFS' and my computer and printer are fairly new (windows 10),I should have tried to copy it first, I'll get it!
Thanks

I was very impressed with the speed at which information was retrieved on my very first search. Unfortunately, the county we were looking for is behind times and has not digitized its information. I will be using Deeds.Com again and appreciate that I was not charged for no information being returned back. Thank You
