Step 1 — Confirm the Last Date of Furnishing
Identify the final date substantial, contract-related labor or materials were provided. Punch-list work or warranty repairs generally do not extend Delaware lien deadlines.
Step 2 — Prepare the Delaware Mechanics Lien
The lien statement must strictly comply with statutory content requirements. Delaware courts do not allow “substantial compliance” when key information is missing or inaccurate.
Make sure to include the following information in your Delaware construction lien:
Claimant’s legal name and address
Property owner’s name
Hiring party’s name
Legal description of the property
Description of labor, materials, equipment, or services provided
Amount claimed as due and unpaid
Date of last furnishing
Verification or sworn statement
