Getting paid on Arizona construction projects requires more than completing the work. Arizona law has strict notice and lien requirements, and missing a deadline can cost you your right to payment.

Understanding the Arizona Preliminary Notice, Arizona 20‐Day Pre‐Lien Notice, Arizona Mechanic's Lien, Arizona Payment Bond Claim, and Arizona Stop Payment Notice is essential for protecting your business.

Most contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers must send an Arizona Preliminary Notice, commonly called the Arizona 20‐Day Pre‐Lien Notice, within 20 days of first furnishing labor or materials.

This notice preserves your right to:

• File an Arizona Mechanic's Lien
• Serve an Arizona Stop Payment Notice
• Make an Arizona Payment Bond Claim

Without this notice, your payment rights may be lost.

An Arizona Stop Payment Notice alerts the owner or lender that you have not been paid and requires them to withhold sufficient funds to cover your claim. It creates fast leverage and often leads to quicker resolution.

An Arizona Mechanic's Lien places a legal claim against the property and is one of the strongest tools for collecting unpaid balances on private projects. Lien rights depend on having sent the required preliminary notice.

For public projects, liens are not allowed. Instead, unpaid subcontractors and suppliers may file an Arizona Payment Bond Claim against the project's payment bond.
