In Arizona does a contractor have to notify the property owner if they have or intend to file a Mechanic’s Lien?

Yes. A contractor who intends to assert a mechanic's lien must send a preliminary 20-day notice to the owner. The lien will secure work done 20-days before the preliminary notice is sent, so it should be sent at the beginning of the project. IF the work is complete, sending a preliminary 20-day notice won't help much.
