Lien Law

page 2 of 5

Consent of owner statement

The law states a home owner who has home improvement or repair work done cannot have a lien placed against his property by anyone other than the general contractor, unless the home owner has signed a consent of owner statement.

This statement says the property owner will pick up the costs of materials, supplies and labor for a project if the contractor does not pay.

If you sign a consent of owner statement, you give up your protection against double payment. If you are asked to sign a statement, use caution.

The consent of owner provision, however, applies only to home improvements and repairs; it does not apply to home building.
