<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">We have noticed recently that the typical “Notice to Owner/Notice to Contractor” forms our Owner clients are receiving from lower tiers now include a separate notice requesting that a copy of the Notice of
Commencement for the project at issue be mailed to the sender. Does anyone know of any statutory or other legal
<u>requirement</u> that an Owner respond to these types of separate notices by printing out and sending a copy of the NOC? Isn’t the whole purpose of
<u>recording</u> the NOC that you are putting the world on notice?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
