Kansas mechanic's liens

Who and what this applies to

Kansas K.S.A. §§60-1102, -1103 and -1105; separate residential notice provisions are referenced in the statute.

The rules

• A direct contractor ordinarily files the verified statement with the district-court clerk in the property county within four months after last furnishing. On qualifying nonresidential work, filing and serving the statutory notice within that period can extend filing to five months. Source
• A subcontractor or supplier ordinarily has three months after last furnishing. The nonresidential five-month extension requires the statutory notice within the ordinary three months. Section 60-1103 requires service of the claim and preserves the warning and intent-to-perform prerequisites in §§60-1103a and -1103b. Source
• Section 60-1105 generally requires an enforcement action within one year after filing. It has a separate maturity rule for the secured note when a copy of that note is attached as required. Source
