Nevada's Notice of Right to Lien only looks back 31 days

Plenty of suppliers hold off on notices until an invoice goes unpaid. In Nevada that habit can cost you.

On Nevada jobs a supplier has to give a Notice of Right to Lien to keep the right to file a lien, and it reaches back only 31 days. Send it after the first invoice is already late and the deliveries from before that window can end up unprotected. The notice belongs at the start of the job, after first delivery, not at the first missed payment.

The rest of the schedule, briefly. Record the lien within 90 days after the latest of three dates: completion of the work of improvement, your last delivery, or your last work (NRS 108.226(1)). If the owner records and serves a valid notice of completion, that drops to 40 days after it was recorded, though it doesn't bind a claimant who gave a Notice of Right to Lien unless the owner mails them a copy within 10 days. Residential jobs need a 15-day notice of intent before recording. Suit comes within 6 months of recording.
