Good News for Arkansas Contractors

Arkansas does not require a pre-lien preliminary notice for most contractors or suppliers. You still must file the lien within the deadline and in the correct recording office.

Commercial vs Residential

Does the Property Type Change Your Deadline?

Same 120-day deadline for both. Residential homeowners have a right to dispute filed liens.

Common Mistakes

What Contractors Get Wrong in Arkansas

1
Missing the 120-day deadline from last work or material delivery
2
Filing in the wrong county — must be filed in the county where the property is located
3
Not including the amount owed and property description in the lien
