Owed money on a job in Kansas? LevelSet Collections prepares and files Kansas liens for general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, in any county. We're based in Carrollton, Texas, and we've filed more than 1,100 liens since 2020. You send the job details; we handle the paperwork, filing and required notices.
How filing works in Kansas
In Kansas the lien is filed with the district court clerk, not the register of deeds, and it has to be verified. We pull the exact legal names of the owner and contractor before drafting, because Kansas is strict about names. Liens are recorded with the clerk of the district court in the county where the property sits.

What trips people up in Kansas
- Subs and suppliers get one month less than the GC. Don't use the GC's deadline.
- The contractor's name must be exactly right in the lien statement. Kansas courts have voided liens over small naming errors.
- On spec homes, a Notice of Intent to Perform must be filed before the house sells.
