Stop Notices:
In addition to a Mechanic’s Lien, it is often advisable to simultaneously file a Stop Notice. Essentially, this is a notice to the owner or holder of construction funds that labor, materials or equipment to the work of improvement has been furnished but not paid for; and a demand that sufficient funds be withheld from that fund to pay the claim. It is, in essence, a garnishment of the construction fund.
Your Account Representative at PROLIEN will review each job with you to determine whether the filing of a Stop Notice is advisable.
