Step 1 — Determine Your Last Date of Furnishing
Before anything else, identify the true last date you performed work or delivered materials that are part of the project. All South Dakota lien deadlines spring from this date.
Step 2 — Serve Notice of Furnishing, if Required
If the general contractor has filed a Notice of Project Commencement and posted it, and you do not contract directly with the owner, serve a Notice of Furnishing Labor or Materials within 60 days of first furnishing. Otherwise, no statutory pre-lien notice is required.
