Delaware Private Time Frames

Step 1: Notice

No Requirement. NACM suggests serving notice 45 days from last furnishing to prompt payment.
There are no provisions for lien rights on rental equipment in Delaware.

Step 2: Lien

Prime Contractor: Statement of claim within 180 days after the completion of the structure.
Others: Statement of claim within 120 days of last furnishing.

Step 3: Foreclosure

The proceedings to recover the amount of any claim shall be by writ of scire facias. (an order for the owner to appear before the court).
In essence foreclosure and the filing of the statement of claim (lien) are concurrent.
