The Ohio rules behind these dates
- Notice of furnishing: if a notice of commencement was recorded, a subcontractor or supplier serves it within 21 days after first furnishing. A late notice covers only the 21 days before it and after. Not needed if no notice of commencement was recorded, and not used on a home construction contract. §§ 1311.05, 1311.04(I).
- Lien affidavit, filed with the county recorder: within 60 days after your last labor or materials for a one- or two-family dwelling or residential condo unit, and within 75 days for other property. § 1311.06(B).
- Serve a copy on the owner within 30 days after filing. § 1311.07. The lien lasts 6 years unless suit is brought. § 1311.13(C). After a notice to commence suit, suit is due within 60 days. § 1311.11.
- Home construction contract (owner's own residence): no lien if the owner paid the original contractor in full before getting a copy of the affidavit. § 1311.011.
