(1)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

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.

(2)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.

(3)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.
