New legislation has been passed in Oregon, protecting homeowners from liens filed by unlicensed contractors performing improvements on their property. Further, those who provide materials, equipment, or labor to an unlicensed contractor are also prohibited from filing a lien. The new law also eliminates the ability of a purchaser of residential property to waive protection against a claim of lien. The act becomes effective January 1, 2011.
