Kentucky requires a “Notice of intent to file lien” for all those who do not have a direct contract with the owner. A prime contractor is not required to give this notice. This “pre-lien” notice is only required for private projects not public. The pre-lien notice for commercial projects must be filed within 120 days of last furnishing services for projects with over $1000 owed. 75 days for less than $1000 owed. Licensed engineers can file a mechanic’s lien which must be filed within 6 months of the last furnishing of services on a private sector project and 60 days for public projects. K.R.S.A. § 376.075.
