Nevada mechanics lien deadlines

4 deadlines NoticeGuard models for Nevada: 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 Every deadline in this app comes from a statute read on the date shown next to its citation - that snapshot can go out of date.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.

Each deadline, with the statute

Notice of right to lien

Delivered in person or by certified mail to the owner, computed here as 31 days after first furnishing - the latest date that still protects every day of work performed since the start of the job. The statute itself states this as a 31-day look-back from whenever the notice is actually given, not a forward deadline; see this rule's notes.

What it counts from. 31 days after first furnishing (commenced work).

Applies to. Subcontractor, Supplier, Preconstruction service.

Nevada Revised Statutes § 108.245 (1)
Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21

“Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, every lien claimant, other than one who performs only labor or is a potential claimant under NRS 608.150, who claims the benefit of NRS 108.221 to 108.246, inclusive, shall, at any time after the first delivery of material or performance of work or services under a contract, deliver in person or by certified mail to the owner of the property a notice of right to lien in substantially the following form... A lien claimant who is required by this section to give a notice of right to lien to an owner and who gives such a notice has a right to lien for materials or equipment furnished or for work or services performed in the 31 days before the date the notice of right to lien is given and for the materials or equipment furnished or for work or services performed anytime thereafter until the completion of the work of improvement.”

If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). No lien for materials, equipment, or non-labor work/services may be perfected or enforced without this notice having been given (§ 108.245(3)) - and coverage only reaches back 31 days from whenever it is actually given, so a late notice forfeits lien rights on anything furnished earlier than that.

Also stated next to this deadline.

Record the notice of lien (no notice of completion)

Recorded with the county recorder, counted from this claimant's own last delivery of material/equipment or last performance of work - a conservative anchor; see this state's doc comment for why the true statutory deadline (measured from the LATEST of that date or the whole project's completion) can only be later, never earlier, than the date shown.

What it counts from. 90 days after last furnishing (last day on site).

Applies to. Original contractor, Subcontractor, Supplier, Preconstruction service (when no date is entered for notice of completion filed).

Nevada Revised Statutes § 108.226 (1)(a)
Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21

“To perfect a lien, a lien claimant must record a notice of lien in the office of the county recorder of the county where the property or some part thereof is located in the form provided in subsection 5: (a) Within 90 days after the date on which the latest of the following occurs: (1) The completion of the work of improvement; (2) The last delivery of material or furnishing of equipment by the lien claimant for the work of improvement; or (3) The last performance of work by the lien claimant for the work of improvement...”

If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). Recording within this period is required "to perfect a lien" - a lien not timely recorded is not perfected.

Also stated next to this deadline.

Record the notice of lien (notice of completion recorded)

Recorded with the county recorder, counted from recordation of a valid, properly served notice of completion - shortens the default 90-day period outright.

What it counts from. 40 days after notice of completion filed.

Applies to. Original contractor, Subcontractor, Supplier, Preconstruction service (when a date is entered for notice of completion filed).

Nevada Revised Statutes § 108.226 (1)(b)
Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21

“(b) Within 40 days after the recording of a valid notice of completion, if the notice of completion is recorded and served in the manner required pursuant to NRS 108.228.”

If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). Recording within this shortened period is required "to perfect a lien" once a valid notice of completion has been recorded and served - the same jurisdictional weight as the 90-day default.

Also stated next to this deadline.

Commence an action to enforce the lien

Counted from the date the notice of lien was recorded. The lien does not bind the property past this date unless suit is commenced, or a recorded written extension agreement (capped at 1 year total, binding only the signing parties) is in place.

What it counts from. 180 days after notice of construction lien recorded.

Applies to. Original contractor, Subcontractor, Supplier, Preconstruction service.

Nevada Revised Statutes § 108.233 (1)
Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21

“A lien provided for in NRS 108.221 to 108.246, inclusive, must not bind the property subject to the lien for a period longer than 6 months after the date on which the notice of lien was recorded, unless: (a) Proceedings are commenced in a proper court within that time to enforce the same; or (b) The time to commence the action is extended by a written instrument signed by the lien claimant and by a person or persons in interest in the property subject to the lien...”

If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). § 108.233(2): "a notice of lien shall be deemed to have expired as a lien against the property" after this period lapses without a timely-commenced action or a recorded extension - the lien stops providing even constructive notice.

Weekend and holiday rollover

NoticeGuard does not model a weekend or holiday extension for Nevada. The dates above are the plain count from the date you enter. Check whether a Saturday, Sunday or holiday changes your date.

About the NoticeGuard app

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.
