Arkansas 75-Day Notice to Owner

Securing mechanics lien rights in Arkansas requires careful tracking of your last day on the project. Under A.C.A. § 18-44-115, on commercial projects, a subcontractor or supplier must generally serve a Notice to Owner (and contractor) no later than 75 days after the last furnishing of labor or materials.

Because the deadlines hinge on establishing an accurate end date, maintaining reliable field records is critical. MyCrewTracker allows Arkansas supervisors to use Daily Reports to log their final day on site, providing the back office with the exact dates needed to calculate notice deadlines and store the delivery receipts.

Arkansas Public Works Retainage

Under A.C.A. § 22-9-205, Arkansas enforces strict retainage rules for public projects, generally capping retainage at 5% and requiring its release under specific completion conditions.

To defend against claims of payment failure, contractors must maintain perfect documentation of substantial completion. MyCrewTracker offers a secure cloud repository where Arkansas contractors can organize dated payment applications and formal communications.
