What is the purpose of sending a Notice of Mechanics Lien form with an unfiled copy of the lien claim?

• A. Notify homeowner of lien claim
• B. File lien with county
• C. Request a payment plan
• D. Terminate the contract

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to inform the homeowner that a lien claim may be filed for nonpayment. This Notice of Mechanics Lien is a heads‑up that protects the contractor’s lien rights by giving the owner details about the work and the amount at stake, without actually recording the lien yet. The unfiled copy serves as a notice of potential action and motivates settlement before a formal lien is recorded with the county. It’s not the step that records the lien, nor is it a request for a payment plan or a contract termination.
