A title lien statement must have the following information to be filed:

2. The name of the secured party and their mailing address
3. Date executed
4. Description of collateral (year, make, ID Number)
5. Title or goldenrod copy of form (TC-96-181)

Filing Fees KRS 64.012

Receipt of the filing fee is a recording requirement.  The filing fee for a title lien statement is $21.00 per individual titled property.

Statutory law requires the secured party to file the lien within twenty (20) days of its execution by the debtor.  If not timely filed, a penalty of $2.00 is assessed by the County Clerk as a prerequisite for filing, together with the regular filing fee (KRS 186A.200(2)).  Title Lien Statements should be dated.  If a title lien statement is not dated, a $2.00 late fee is charged because the clerk's office has no way of knowing when the document was executed.
