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.
Word on the Street in Portland
"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."
Navigating the Multnomah County Recording Process
