Christopher G. Hill | Construction Law Musings<\/a> | June 14, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As July 1, 2019 approaches with its inevitable changes to the Virginia Code, I wanted to remind you once again that the statutory form for a Virginia mechanic\u2019s lien will change as of that date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HB2409\u00a0passed both houses of the General Assembly and has been signed by the Governor.\u00a0 This bill reconciled the language found in\u00a0Virginia Code Sec. 43-4\u00a0with the various forms for general contractor, subcontractor and sub-subcontractor\/supplier forms found in later sections of the code.\u00a0 As you will see if you download the .pdf of the bill as signed, this involved some tweaks to 43-4 and some updates to the mechanic\u2019s lien forms that are in the code.\u00a0 The\u00a0recent Desai case from the Virginia Supreme Court\u00a0made it clear that such action was necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of particular note is an addition of a specific section of the form spelling out which portion if any are claimed but not due (for instance retention or money subject to\u00a0pay if paid clauses) as of the date of the recording of the memorandum of lien.\u00a0 Failing to spell this out on your memorandum of lien could potentially cost you a valid lien given the\u00a0picky nature of these powerful but finicky beasts.\u00a0 Another minor change was an amendment to 43-4 to require a statement of a date from which interest was claimed.\u00a0 This last was part of the form to begin with so this won\u2019t affect your form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, be sure to work with an\u00a0experienced Virginia construction attorney\u00a0when calculating deadlines\u00a0and populating this new form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
