A Washington state supplier of ready-mix concrete asked our TRADITION LIEN SERVICE division to record a WASHINGTON Claim of Lien (RCW 60.04.091) against a new home being built in Asotin, WA within Asotin county. According to Wikipedia, in 1862 Bob Bracken became the first permanent European settler of what would become Asotin county.
On private Commercial, Existing Residential and New Residential projects WASHINGTON Revised Code § 60.04.091 mandates that General/Prime Contractors and Subcontractors have ninety (90) days to file a WASHINGTON Claim Of Lien at the County Auditors office in the county where the project occurred after the last day equipment, labor, materials or services were provided to the job site. Cost to record a lien with the Auditor for Asotin county is $304.50 for the first page and $1.00 each additional page of 8-1/2″ x 11″ paper. The office does accept out of state business checks. Make the check out to ASOTIN COUNTY RECORDER. Include a self addressed stamped envelope.
Turn around time to record is 1-2 business days. Recorded liens and releases will be returned in 1-2 weeks.
A WASHINGTON Claim Of Lien must be perfected through a foreclosure action at the Superior Court in the county where the project is located within eight (8) months of the WASHINGTON Claim Of Lien being recorded.
