What the source says
Contractors are not required to serve any preliminary notice or notice to the owner. Subcontractors must serve a Notice to Owner within 180 days of the date payment is due for last material provided or services performed. A unique feature of Vermont mechanic lien law is the requirement to file a court-ordered attachment within the 180-day window to perfect the mechanic lien, as established in Filter Equip. v. IBM, 142 Vt. 499, 458 A.2d 1091 (1983). Notice to the owner should be sent as soon as possible because it prevents the owner from selling or mortgaging the property without disclosing the mechanic lien. Vermont public works bond claims apply specifically to highway contracts and Agency of Transportation improvement projects under Vt. Stat. Ann. Title 19 §10(9).
