A Pacific Northwest supplier of geomembrane linings and geosynthetics asked our TRADITION LIEN SERVICE division to record a WASHINGTON Claim of Lien (RCW 60.04.091) for supply and installation of a PVC liner system located in Sumner, WA within Pierce county. According to Wikipedia, Pierce County was named for U.S. President Franklin Pierce. It is also home to Mount Rainier, the tallest mountain and a volcano in the Cascade Range.

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 Pierce county is $204.50 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 PIERCE 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 4-6 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.
