A Waukesha, WI based roofing and siding contractor asked our TRADITION LIEN SERVICE division to record a WISCONSIN Prime Contractor Claim For Lien – Wisconsin Statutes §779.06 in Milwaukee County for non-payment for siding work done on a residential home in Franklin, WI within Milwaukee county. According to WIKIPEDIA Franklin originally consisted of a 36-square-mile area that was covered with heavy timber, which was mostly hardwoods such as hickory, walnut, and butternut.
Since 2016 it is mandatory that a lien should be e-recorded with the Wisconsin circuit courts portal ( https://logon.wicourts.gov/index.html?target=efiling ) in the county where the improved property is located. Include copies also of the legal property description and the required warning notice | WISCONSIN Prime Contractor Notice Of Intention To File Claim For Lien – Wisconsin Statutes §779.06(2) | that needs to be previously mailed. A recorded copy of the lien should be mailed by Certified Mail or personal delivery within thirty (30) days to the improved property’s Owner, Agent or Trustee along with the other legal parties for improvement (Customer, Lender/Surety).
The Milwaukee County Clerk Of Circuit Court’s fees to record are as follows: $6.95 for eCheck (document size 8-1/2″ x 11″). Actual recording is one (1) business day. You can retrieve the recorded document from the email you will receive confirming recording.
Claimants must begin a lien foreclosure action within two (2) years from the date the WISCONSIN Prime Contractor Claim For Lien was recorded for the project.
