⭐ How to File a Georgia Mechanics/Construction Lien (Step-By-Step)

Step 1 — Determine Whether a Notice of Commencement Exists

If one exists → Notice to Owner is required.
If none exists → proceed to lien filing.

Send the Georgia Notice to Owner (If Required)

• Serve owner and GC

• Certified mail or overnight      delivery recommended

GCs skip this step.
