Tennessee utilizes a rigid 90-day Notice of Nonpayment system that demands proactive documentation. MyCrewTracker empowers Tennessee contractors to securely store daily reports, manage project communications, and archive statutory notices.
Tennessee Notice of Nonpayment (The 90-Day Rule)
In Tennessee, securing mechanics lien rights requires monthly vigilance. Under Tenn. Code § 66-11-145, on commercial projects, a subcontractor or supplier who has not been paid must generally serve a Notice of Nonpayment within 90 days of the last day of each month in which labor or materials were provided.
Because these deadlines trigger monthly, establishing a concrete timeline is critical. MyCrewTracker assists Tennessee contractors by using Daily Reports to create a verifiable, date-stamped record of when work commenced and completed each month, ensuring your back office accurately tracks the 90-day windows.
Tennessee Prompt Pay Act
Under Tenn. Code § 66-34-103, Tennessee law generally requires owners to pay contractors within 30 days after the owner receives a proper invoice, subject to certain exceptions and retainage rules.
To enforce these rights, contractors must maintain perfect documentation of when invoices were transmitted and received. MyCrewTracker offers a secure cloud repository where Tennessee contractors can organize dated payment applications and formal communications.
