Why Kansas Contractors Need a Construction Debt Collection Attorney

Kansas’s construction lien laws are strict, and missing even one step, like notarization or meeting tight deadlines, can cost you everything you’re owed. That’s where we come in.

What Makes Kansas Unique?

  • Shorter Lien Deadlines:
    • 4 months for direct contractors
    • 3 months for subcontractors and suppliers
  • No Lien Rights for Sub-subcontractors
  • Notarization Required: Every lien must be properly notarized, no exceptions.
  • Residential Project Rules: Additional notices are required for owner-occupied homes.

With no deadline extensions and little court leniency, you need a legal partner that understands Kansas Statutes Chapter 60, Article 11 inside and out.

How We Work: The Debt Collection Process in Lenexa

Lenexa, KS: A Hotbed of Construction & Collection Challenges

Lenexa sits at the heart of the booming Kansas City construction corridor:

  • 1.9 million sq. ft. of new industrial construction in Q1 2024
  • 5.1 million sq. ft. of industrial absorption in Q1 2025 (2nd highest in the U.S.)
  • Residential growth: Median home price now at $530,500, with a 3.3% YoY increase

But with growth comes risk. Complex, multi-party projects and rising material costs often lead to delayed payments or disputes. You can’t afford to wait months or years to recover what you’re owed.
