Step 1

Project fit

Confirm this is a supported private Arizona construction project and that the claimant has potential lien rights.

6 required

I confirm the project is in Arizona. *

I confirm this is a private construction project, not a public or government project. *Public-project payment-bond notices follow different Arizona statutes and are not supported by this workflow.

Your role on the project *

I confirm the claimant is not merely an employee performing actual labor for wages, holds every required contractor license or professional registration, and, if furnishing professional services, has the agreement relationship required by A.R.S. section 33-981(F). *A.R.S. sections 33-981 and 33-992.01 limit who can enforce lien rights. This confirmation does not verify licensing, registration, or contractual relationships.

I confirm either the property is not an owner-occupied one- or two-family dwelling, or the claimant has a written contract directly with the owner-occupant. *A.R.S. section 33-1002 generally bars other lien claims against an owner-occupied dwelling.

I confirm either no payment bond recorded under A.R.S. section 33-1003 removes this claimant's lien rights, or the claimant has a written contract directly with the owner. *Review county and project records before confirming. A recorded private payment bond can replace lien rights for some claimants.

Arizona Preliminary Twenty Day Lien Notice
Statutory acknowledgment of receipt

Common mistakes+

Waiting too long after the first furnishing date to prepare and mail the notice.
Leaving out a required recipient role, including a construction lender or reputed lender shown in project or title records.
Using only the job site address when a recipient needs notice at a business or mailing address.
Omitting the estimated total price, failing to send a subsequent notice after a 30% or greater increase, or combining work under different subcontractor contracts.
Treating the deadline helper as legal advice instead of confirming the rule for the project.

FAQs+

Does PostalForm decide who must receive the Arizona preliminary notice?

No. The workflow prompts for the owner, original contractor, construction lender or reputed lender identified after reasonable record review, and contracting party under Arizona Revised Statutes section 33-992.01, but you are responsible for confirming the correct parties.

Can I send the Arizona notice to more than one recipient?

Yes. The workflow collects multiple recipients and creates one addressed Certified Mail piece for each selected recipient.

Can I attach invoices or project records?

Not in this statutory workflow. It keeps the Arizona notice and acknowledgment separate from larger-type exhibits so the required notice text remains at least as large as the other type in the notice document.
