Home Improvement Contractor - Licensed Contractors

Where on the web can I find time requirements for filing a mechanics lien in IL?

My company is the contractor but I can't find anything that tells me the time limitations... thx

1. I hope this helps. Subcontractors on all private construction projects (including owner-occupied, single-family residential projects) must also give notice to the owner or his agent, architect, or superintendent having charge of the property, and the lending agency, if known, of their intent to file a lien. Subcontractors must give this notice within 90 days following their last date of work, and the notice should be consistent with the form provided in Section 24 of the Act. The Act requires this notice to be sent via registered or certified mail, restricted delivery, return receipt requested. There is only one exception: subcontractors that fail to give the 90-day notice may nevertheless record a mechanics lien if the owner of the property was given notice of the subcontractor by means of a Contractor's Sworn Statement. (4) Under this exception, the subcontractor may record a lien for an amount equal to or less than the amount shown on the last Contractor's Sworn Statement only, regardless of whether that amount is correct. Subcontractors that fail to give the 90-day notice and who are not named in the Contractor's Sworn Statement have no enforceable lien rights.
