    Portland Contractors: Don't Let The 8 days Rule Cost You Your Paycheck.

    If you are working on a project in Portland, OR, the clock is ticking. You must file your Notice of Right to a Lien within 8 working days of first furnishing labor or materials. Miss it, and you forfeit your statutory lien rights for the entire project — there is no partial protection. Don't float the GC for free.

    "Information required for an Oregon Information Notice to Owner is highly specific. Doing it by hand is asking for a technicality dismissal. LienFlash's AI extracts my invoice data perfectly and puts it on the right form."
