Application and Notice of Lien — 45 days after date of completion

Hawaii does not use a 20-day preliminary notice. A claimant applies to the circuit court with an Application for a Lien and a Notice of Lien, served on the owner, not later than 45 days after the date of completion (HRS §507-43). Date of completion is tied to publication of a notice of completion. Condo common elements have special limits under §514B-43. We serve the application/notice and calendar the 45-day clock. Counsel files in circuit court.
