     (a) In order to have a perfected lien pursuant to this
act, a lien claimant shall file with the county clerk a lien
statement verifying the accuracy of the lien and the allegations
set forth in the lien statement, sworn to and acknowledged by
the lien claimant or his authorized representative before a
notarial officer. The county clerk shall record and index the
lien statement by date, names of claimant and property owner,
and legal description of the property.

     (b) The lien statement shall contain as appropriate the
following information:

           (i)     The name and address of the lien claimant;

           (ii)    The amount claimed to be due and owing;

          (iii) The name and address of the record owner
against whose property the lien is filed;

          (iv) An itemized list setting forth and describing
materials delivered or work performed;

          (v) The name of the person whom the lien claimant
alleges is contractually responsible to pay the debt secured by
the lien;

          (vi) The date when labor was last performed or
services were last rendered or the date of substantial
completion of the project;

          (vii) The legal description of the property where the
materials were furnished or upon which the work was performed;
and

          (viii) A copy of the contract, if available, or a
summary of the lien claimant's contract together with a
statement of the location where a copy of the contract, if
written, can be obtained.

     (c) Notice shall be sent by the lien claimant to the last
record owner or his agent in the case of a real property lien
within thirty (30) days after the lien statement is filed. The
notice shall be in substantially the same format and contain the
same information as the form of notice specified in W.S.
29-10-103. The notice forms shall be made available and may be
obtained at the county clerk's office of each county. Failure to
send the notice required under this subsection shall not affect
the validity of the lien.

     (d) As a fee for recording a lien statement, the county
clerk shall collect from the lien claimant the same fee as
provided by W.S. 18-3-402(a)(xvi)(P). An irregularity in the
lien statement may provide a valid defense for a party defending
against the lien. The county clerk shall nevertheless file a
lien statement at the date and time received by the county
clerk, regardless of any irregularity, illegible language or
other reason.

     (e) The recording fee under this section may be assessed
as costs in any action to foreclose the lien.

     (f) The lien statement shall be in substantially the same
format and contain the same information as the form specified in
W.S. 29-10-104. The lien statement forms shall be made
available and may be obtained at the county clerk's office of
each county.
