3 deadlines NoticeGuard models for Kansas: what each one counts from, the statute it was read from, and the statute text.
Information, not legal advice. This app reports what the statute says and cites the section it read. It is not legal advice, it does not file anything for you, and it does not tell you what to do.
Verify with the statute or an attorney. Statutes change, and courts reinterpret them. Every deadline in this app comes from a statute read on the date shown next to its citation - that snapshot can go out of date. Missing a mechanics lien deadline can extinguish your claim permanently, so confirm any deadline you are relying on with an attorney licensed in that state before you act on it.
Data verified: statute text retrieved 2026-09-21 (each citation below carries its own date). Rule data from the NoticeGuard app, source commit 22f9300.
Filed with the clerk of the district court, counted from the date material/equipment used or consumed was last furnished or labor was last performed under the contract.
What it counts from. 120 days after last furnishing (last day on site).
Applies to. Original contractor.
Kansas Statutes Annotated § 60-1102 (a) Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21
“Any person claiming a lien on real property, under the provisions of K.S.A. 60-1101, and amendments thereto, shall file with the clerk of the district court of the county in which property is located, within four months after the date material, equipment or supplies, used or consumed was last furnished or last labor performed under the contract a verified statement showing: (1) The name of the owner, (2) the name and address sufficient for service of process of the claimant, (3) a description of the real property, (4) a reasonably itemized statement and the amount of the claim, but if the amount of the claim is evidenced by a written instrument, or if a promissory note has been given for the same, a copy thereof may be attached to the claim in lieu of the itemized statement.”
If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). Kansas courts have held this filing requirement strictly jurisdictional: "Lien must be filed within four months of date materials last furnished" (Seyb-Tucker Lumber & Implement Co. v. Hartley, 197 Kan. 58) - a case-law characterization, not a forfeiture clause stated in the statute's own text.
Also stated next to this deadline.
Approximated as 120 calendar days (4 months × 30), the same approximation style used throughout this app.
A non-residential claimant may extend this to 5 months by filing a notice of extension within the original 4 months (§ 60-1102(c)) - not modeled here (see this state's "Honest limits").
File lien statement (subcontractor or supplier)
Filed with the clerk of the district court, counted from this claimant's own last furnishing of labor, equipment, material, or supplies at the site.
What it counts from. 89 days after last furnishing (last day on site).
Applies to. Subcontractor, Supplier, Preconstruction service.
Kansas Statutes Annotated § 60-1103 (a)(1) Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21
“Any supplier, subcontractor or other person furnishing labor, equipment, material or supplies, used or consumed at the site of the property subject to the lien, under an agreement with the contractor, subcontractor or owner contractor may obtain a lien for the amount due in the same manner and to the same extent as the original contractor except that: (1) The lien statement must state the name of the contractor and be filed within three months after the date supplies, material or equipment was last furnished or labor performed by the claimant;”
If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). Kansas courts have examined this as a strict statutory time requirement (Bethlehem Steel Corp. v. National Co-op Refinery Ass'n, 19 Kan. App. 2d 330) - a case-law characterization, not a forfeiture clause stated in the statute's own text.
Also stated next to this deadline.
Approximated as 89 calendar days, not the 90 this app's usual 30-days-per-month style would give. Three calendar months is 89 to 92 days - it is only 89 when the count starts at the end of January (31 January to 30 April) - so a flat 90 days would have shown a date ONE DAY LATE for those starts, the one direction that can actually cost a lien. 89 is the shortest three-month span there is, so this date is on or before the statutory one for every start date, at the cost of being up to 3 days early.
This is the claimant's OWN last furnishing, not the project's or the general contractor's completion - confirmed by the statute's own text ("last furnished ... by the claimant").
The lien statement must also state the name of the contractor.
A non-residential claimant may extend this to 5 months by filing a notice of extension within the original 3 months (§ 60-1103(e)) - not modeled here (see this state's "Honest limits").
Bring action to foreclose the lien
Counted from the time of filing the lien statement.
What it counts from. 365 days after notice of construction lien recorded.
Applies to. Original contractor, Subcontractor, Supplier, Preconstruction service.
Kansas Statutes Annotated § 60-1105 (a) Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21
“An action to foreclose a lien under this article shall be brought within one year from the time of filing the lien statement, but if a promissory note has been attached to the lien statement in lieu of an itemized statement, the action shall be commenced within one year from the maturity of said note.”
If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). Kansas courts have characterized this as a statute of duration rather than a mere limitations period: the lien is "unperfected" and unenforceable if foreclosure is not commenced in time (In re Birdview Satellite Communications, Inc., 90 B.R. 465; Boyce v. Knudson, 219 Kan. 357) - a case-law characterization, not a forfeiture clause stated in the statute's own text.
Also stated next to this deadline.
Approximated as 365 calendar days (1 year × 365), the same approximation style used throughout this app. A calendar year is 365 or 366 days, so this date always lands on or before the statutory one - never after it.
If a promissory note was attached to the lien statement in lieu of an itemized statement, this deadline instead runs one year from the note's maturity - a data-dependent alternate this app does not separately track.
The lien statement may be amended by leave of the judge in furtherance of justice, except to increase the amount claimed (§ 60-1105(b)).
Weekend and holiday rollover
NoticeGuard does not model a weekend or holiday extension for Kansas. The dates above are the plain count from the date you enter. Check whether a Saturday, Sunday or holiday changes your date.
What this rule set does not cover
No preliminary/pre-lien notice is modeled - confirmed residential-only, not merely unmodeled. § 60-1103a's "warning statement" requirement applies only to "improvement of residential property" (a preexisting structure the owner resides in, not used or intended for more than two families or commercial purposes, or new construction intended to become an individual's principal residence) - it does not apply to this app's general commercial scheme.
Neither filing deadline's optional extension mechanism is modeled: a claimant on non-residential property may extend the 4-month (§ 60-1102(c)) or 3-month (§ 60-1103(e)) filing period to 5 months by filing a notice of extension, on a Kansas Judicial Council form, within the original window and mailing it to the relevant parties. This is a data-dependent, claimant-elected extension this app does not otherwise collect.
Weekend/holiday rollover is NOT modeled, despite an unusually strong textual signal: K.S.A. 60-206(a)(1) states its computation rule applies to "any time period specified in this chapter" - and Article 11's lien deadlines are, textually, part of that same Chapter 60. This is a stronger same-chapter fit than most states in this app carry, but no Kansas case law confirming 60-206 has actually been applied to a § 60-1102/60-1103/60-1105 deadline was found - the same case-law-confirmation bar every other state's rollover claim in this app is held to.
Only §§ 60-1101, 60-1102, 60-1103, 60-1103a, 60-1105, and 60-206 have been read. The rest of Article 11 - including § 60-1106 (parties) and priority mechanics - has not been incorporated.
NoticeGuard is an app that turns a job's dates into a countdown for each statutory step, shows the statute text each date was read from, exports a calendar file (.ics) and sends reminders 14, 7 and 1 day before each deadline. It tracks and reminds; it does not file anything for you.
