The lien provided for in KRS 376.210 shall be dissolved unless the person who
furnishes the labor, materials, or supplies shall, whichever is later, within sixty
(60) days after the last day of the month in which any labor, materials, or
supplies were furnished, or by the date of substantial completion, file in the
county clerk's office of each county in which labor, materials, or supplies were
furnished, except as hereinafter provided, a statement in writing verified by
affidavit of the claimant or his or her authorized agent or attorney, setting forth
the amount due for which the lien is claimed, the date on which labor,
materials, or supplies were last furnished and the name of the canal, railroad,
bridge, public highway, or other public improvement upon which it is claimed.
In all cases where a lien is claimed for labor, materials, or supplies furnished
for the improvement of any bridge, public highway, or other public property
owned by the state or by any county, charter county, urban-county,
consolidated local government, or city, the statement of lien shall be filed only
in the county clerk's office of the county in which the seat of government of the
owner of the property is located.
The county clerk, upon the filing of the statement, shall make an abstract and
entry thereof as now provided by law in case of mechanics' liens in the same
book used for that purpose, and shall make proper index thereof. The clerk
shall be paid by the party filing the claim, and for attesting any copy of the lien
statement. If he or she is required to make the copy, he or she may make an
additional charge as provided by law. The clerk's fees shall be determined
pursuant to KRS 64.012. All of these charges may be recovered by the lien
claimant as costs from the party and out of the fund against which the claim is
filed.
