Description

This form is a Lien Notice. The form provides that the lien is for the unpaid balance for goods, materials, and services furnished in the construction and improvement of the property described in the form. California Lien Notice is a legal document that serves as a written notice to inform parties involved about a lien being placed on a property. This notice is typically issued by a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier who has provided labor, materials, or services for a construction project in California but has not received full payment for their work. The California Civil Code section 3084 requires the party seeking to secure a lien on a property to serve a Preliminary 20-Day Notice. Also known as a "pre-open" notice, this document must be provided within 20 days of first furnishing labor, materials, or services to the construction site. This notice ensures the claimant's right to file a valid lien if necessary. The Preliminary 20-Day Notice contains essential information such as the claimant's name and address, the property owner's name, the general contractor's name (if known), a description of the work or materials provided, and the estimated total price of the claimant's contribution to the project. This notice must be sent via certified mail or personally delivered to the property owner, the construction lender (if applicable), and the general contractor (if known). Providing this notice is crucial, as it alerts the property owner and other parties involved of the claimant's potential lien rights. Another type of California Lien Notice is the Notice of Mechanics Lien, also referred to as a "lien claim" or "mechanics lien." This notice is filed by a claimant who has not been paid for their work and seeks to enforce their lien rights on the property. The Notice of Mechanics Lien must be properly prepared, notarized, and recorded in the county where the property is located within 90 days from the completion or cessation of work. Furthermore, California also recognizes a Stop Notice, often used by subcontractors and suppliers. This notice informs the property owner, general contractor, and construction lender that the claimant has not been paid and is demanding payment before the property can be sold or refinanced. Unlike a mechanics lien, a stop notice is not recorded but is instead served directly to the relevant parties involved. In summary, California Lien Notice includes the Preliminary 20-Day Notice, Notice of Mechanics Lien, and Stop Notice. These documents play a vital role in protecting the rights of contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who have contributed to construction projects and ensure their ability to seek recourse and payment for their services. Complying with the specific requirements and deadlines pertaining to each notice type is crucial to maintaining the validity of one's lien rights in California.
