How to File a Labor Lien in Oklahoma
- 1). Prepare a pre-lien notice. The notice must say it is a pre-lien notice and contain the following information: your name, address and telephone number; the date(s) you supplied labor, materials or other services to the project plus a general description for each; the name and last-known address of the owner; the address, legal description or location of the property where you performed the work; and the amount owed. You must also sign the notice.
- 2). Serve the owner of the property with the pre-lien notice. National Lien Law recommends serving the notice by certified mail with a return receipt requested. You must do this before you file the lien and also within 75 days of supplying work or materials. Failure to provide pre-lien notice makes the lien invalid and unenforceable.
- 3). File the lien at the county clerk's office in the county of the project location. Some counties will charge an administrative or processing fee.
