3 deadlines NoticeGuard models for Oregon: 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 Every deadline in this app comes from a statute read on the date shown next to its citation - that snapshot can go out of date.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.
Perfect lien (labor, material, or equipment-rental claimants)
Filed with the recording officer of the county, counted from this claimant's own last furnishing - but no later than 75 days after completion of construction, if that comes sooner.
What it counts from. 75 days after last furnishing (last day on site), but no later than 75 days after final completion of the original contract (whichever is earlier).
Applies to. Original contractor, Subcontractor, Supplier.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 87.035 (1) Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21
“Every person claiming a lien created under ORS 87.010 (1) or (2) shall perfect the lien not later than 75 days after the person has ceased to provide labor, rent equipment or furnish materials or 75 days after completion of construction, whichever is earlier.”
If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). The statute's own operative language: the lien must be perfected "not later than" this date - no separate forfeiture sentence is stated in ORS 87.035 itself.
Also stated next to this deadline.
A lien is perfected by filing a claim of lien with the recording officer of the county where the improvement sits (ORS 87.035(2)).
If your own last furnishing came before completion of construction, the 75-days-after-completion cap can pull this deadline earlier than 75 days after your own last day on the job - shown above only if it actually does, per this app's standard capped-deadline display.
Perfect lien (preconstruction service provider)
Filed with the recording officer of the county, counted from completion of construction of the whole project - no last-furnishing alternative.
What it counts from. 75 days after final completion of the original contract.
Applies to. Preconstruction service.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 87.035 (1) Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21
“Every other person claiming a lien created under ORS 87.010 shall perfect the lien not later than 75 days after the completion of construction. All liens claimed shall be perfected as provided by subsections (2) to (4) of this section.”
If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). The statute's own operative language: the lien must be perfected "not later than" this date - no separate forfeiture sentence is stated in ORS 87.035 itself.
Also stated next to this deadline.
This branch (ORS 87.010(4)-(6): employee-benefit-plan trustees, and architects/engineers/land surveyors who prepare plans/specs or supervise construction) has no last-furnishing alternative - the deadline is always tied to the whole project's completion, not to when this claimant's own scope finished.
This is a deadline for filing the lien, not a description of when this claimant's own preconstruction service began or ended - do not confuse it with `preconstructionServiceCommenced`/`preconstructionServiceCompleted`, which this rule does not use.
File suit to enforce the lien
Counted from the day the claim of lien was filed. If suit is not brought within this period, the lien stops binding the property.
What it counts from. 120 days after notice of construction lien recorded.
Applies to. Original contractor, Subcontractor, Supplier, Preconstruction service.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 87.055 (sole operative sentence) Official source · statute text retrieved 2026-09-21
“No lien created under ORS 87.010 shall bind any improvement for a longer period than 120 days after the claim of lien is filed unless suit is brought in a proper court within that time to enforce the lien, or if extended payment is provided and the terms thereof are stated in the claim of lien, then 120 days after the expiration of such extended payment, but no lien shall be continued in force for a longer time than two years from the time the claim of lien is filed under ORS 87.035 by any agreement to extend payment.”
If the date is missed (the statute's own terms). The statute's own mechanism: the lien "shall not bind any improvement for a longer period than 120 days after the claim of lien is filed unless suit is brought... within that time."
Also stated next to this deadline.
If the claim of lien itself states extended-payment terms, the statute instead runs 120 days from expiration of that term, capped at 2 years total from filing - a data-dependent alternate this app does not separately track (see this state's "Honest limits").
A suit is deemed commenced when the complaint is filed (ORS 87.055(1)-(2)), regardless of when summons or service is completed.
Weekend and holiday rollover
NoticeGuard does not model a weekend or holiday extension for Oregon. 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
The Notice of Right to a Lien (ORS 87.021, prescribed form at ORS 87.023) is NOT modeled - it is not a forward-counting deadline. It may be sent at any point during the project, and only caps which furnishing dates the eventual lien can cover (protecting furnishing from 8 business days before the notice is sent, onward) - not a "must send within N days" rule this app's engine can express as a due date. On a commercial improvement, this notice is not even required for lien perfection at all (ORS 87.021(3)(b)).
"Completion of construction" (ORS 87.045(1)) - the anchor for the "every other person" filing branch and the cap on the main branch - is a project-wide event with three alternative triggers (substantial completion, OR a recorded completion notice, OR abandonment 75 days after work ceases). This app approximates all three with its existing `finalCompletionOfOriginalContract` anchor; it does not separately model a recorded completion notice or the abandonment prong.
Weekend/holiday rollover is NOT modeled for the 75-day filing deadline or the 120-day enforcement deadline. ORS 174.120's general computation-of-time rule is, by its own text, scoped to "civil and criminal procedure statutes" and matters "to be performed in" specified courts - no confirmation was found that it extends to a county-recorder filing deadline or a foreclosure-suit deadline under Chapter 87 specifically. (ORS 87.021's own 8-business-day look-back is separately self-contained and excludes weekends/holidays by its own text - that one is not in question, but it isn't a due-date rule this app models either.)
The enforcement deadline's extended-payment/2-year outer cap (ORS 87.055: if the lien claim itself states extended-payment terms, the 120 days runs from expiration of that term instead, capped at 2 years from filing) is not modeled - a data-dependent fact this app does not otherwise collect.
No explicit statutory forfeiture sentence was found inside ORS 87.035 itself for a late filing - this app states the consequence as the statute's own operative "shall perfect... not later than" language, not an invented "or the lien is void" clause.
Only ORS 87.021, 87.035, 87.045, and 87.055 have been read. The rest of Chapter 87 - including the residential-only Information Notice to Owner (ORS 87.093, a different document from ORS 87.021 despite the similar name) and the bond/deposit release mechanisms (ORS 87.076-87.089) - 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.
