Count it for your job
Type your date. The page shows the deadline and the statute it comes from. Nothing you type leaves this phone. This quick check assumes you are a subcontractor or supplier, not hired by the owner. For other roles and every date on the job, use the full calculator.
The Maryland rules behind these dates
- A subcontractor gives the owner written notice of intention to claim a lien within 120 days after doing the work or furnishing the materials. § 9-104(a).
- Single-family home built on the owner's land for the owner's residence: no sub lien if the owner paid in full before the notice. § 9-104(a)(2).
- Anyone claiming a lien files a petition to establish it in circuit court within 180 days after the work is finished or materials furnished. § 9-105(a).
