June 4, 2010
Oregon recently amended ORS Chapters 87 and 701 to protect residential purchasers from lien claimants and to penalize unlicensed subcontractors. See HB 3689 (2010). Specifically, the amendments bar: (1) a purchaser of residential property from waiving his/her protection from claims of lien, and (2) an unlicensed subcontractor from perfecting a claim of lien against owner-occupied residential property.
Importantly, these provisions take effect on January 1, 2011.
