Key Fact: Ohio
Ohio requires a Notice of Furnishing within 21 days only when a Notice of Commencement has been posted on the project. No NOC means no notice requirement.
Understanding Ohio Requirements
Ohio has a conditional preliminary notice requirement under ORC § 1311.05. The Notice of Furnishing is only required under specific circumstances, such as when a Notice of Commencement has been filed on the project or when the work involves certain property types.
Because the notice requirement in Ohio depends on project-specific conditions, subcontractors and suppliers must verify whether a Notice of Furnishing is needed on each individual job. Missing a required notice when conditions are met can forfeit lien rights entirely.
