The Notice of Intent to File a Notice of Completion is required when the project is: 1) privately owned; 2) total construction time exceeds 120 days; 3) total value of construction is greater than $500,000.00; and 4) no payment bond has been obtained by the owner/general contractor.
For instructions on filing a Notice of Intent to File a Notice of Completion, see the SCR Notice of Completion instructions above.
All Preliminary Notices are due within 10 days after the Notice of Completion, and all liens must be filed within 90 days after the Notice of Completion.
