statement in writing in which is stated the amount due the claimant, with all just
credits and setoffs known to him, together with a description of the property
intended to be covered by the lien sufficiently accurate to identify it and the
name of the owner. This statement shall be subscribed and sworn to by the
person claiming the lien or by someone in his behalf.
The county clerk shall endorse upon each statement the date of its filing, and
shall make an abstract of the statement in a book to be kept by him for that
purpose, properly endorsed and indexed, containing the date of filing, the
name of the person seeking to enforce the lien, the amount claimed, the name
of the person against whose property the lien is filed, and a description of the
property charged with the lien. The clerk shall receive a fee as provided for in
KRS 64.012 from the person filing the statement as full compensation, which
shall be taxed and collected as other costs.
