Notices Of Completion
The year 2004 brought a subtle but important change to California's mechanics' lien law. Under new Civil Code Section 3259.5, for a property owner to shorten the time period for claimants to file liens or related claims, not only must a notice of completion be filed in the applicable county land records, but copies of the notice must also be promptly mailed to the contractor and potential claimants who have served the property owner with a preliminary notice.
