About LienClock
A deadline clock for your lien rights
LienClock is a deadline tracker for trade subcontractors. Enter the state, the general contractor, and the start and completion dates for a job. LienClock calculates every preliminary notice, lien filing, and enforcement deadline for that job, shows the statute behind each date, and reminds you before each window closes.
It never files anything on your behalf, and it is not a law firm. It exists so you never miss the window to protect your own right to be paid.
Why this exists
Lien rights are strong leverage for getting paid, and they expire on a schedule. The windows differ by state, by anchor date, and sometimes by project type. A sub running four jobs in three states is tracking a dozen dates with real money behind each one. Miss a preliminary notice window and the lien right can be gone before the invoice is even overdue. LienClock keeps that schedule so you can keep building.
What LienClock does
Reminds you before it closes
Email reminders arrive at 30, 14, 7, and 1 days out by default, adjustable in settings. SMS reminders are included with Pro.
Shows the statute
Every deadline carries its citation and a plain language note, including where a state can shorten the window.
What LienClock never does
File documents for you
LienClock never serves a notice, records a lien, or starts a lawsuit. Every filing stays in your hands.
Give legal advice
Dates come from commonly published statutory windows. Some states shorten a window based on recorded notices or project type, so read the note on each deadline and talk to a construction attorney when the stakes are high.
State coverage
LienClock currently tracks statutory windows in 10 states, and new states are added to the catalog over time. Every rule carries its citation so you can verify the source.
