Oregon Preliminary Notice Deadlines: The 8 days Rule

    Oregon law is strict. You have exactly 8 days from first furnishing labor or materials to protect your right to get paid.

    ⚠THE RULE: You must file a Notice of Right to a Lien within 8 working days of first furnishing labor or materials.

    ❌THE RISK: If you file late, you permanently forfeit your lien rights for any work done prior to the 8 days preceding the notice.

    The 8 days Window

    You can file late in OR, but it only protects work done in the 8 days before mailing. You lose money for early work.

    Multiple Recipients

    Oregon requires you to notify the owner, the direct contractor, AND the construction lender (if applicable).

    Strict Mailing Rules

    It must be sent via USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt. Regular mail invalidates your rights.
