Hi, You have 90 days from your last day of work to file a lien. I would give the client 45 days to pay you. If they have not paid by then, write a letter
demanding payment and telling them that you will file a lien in 30 days if not paid. After 75 days, file your lien. Don’t wait until the 90th day. I’m out this week
but if you want to talk next week, call me at 415-407-1290. Thanks, Jerry

CaliforniaMechanics Lien

Attorney at Carney Law Firm
A Preliminary Lien Notice must be served 20 days before the contractor/subcontractor who served the notice started work. Otherwise, the
contractor/subcontractor can only lien for the work performed in the last 20 days of work. A mechanic’s lien must be filed within 90 days of the last day the
contractor performed work. It sounds to me like both the Prelim and the Mechanic’s Lien are invalid but I would need to see the documents.

Yes, you should submit an amended/revised Unconditional for the amount that was paid. Somewhere on the form, type in “This Unconditional Waiver
supersedes the Unconditional Waiver dated xx/xx/xx because full payment was not received.” You can submit a new Conditional for the $40,000 still owed. If
you don’t do a new Unconditional, you’re going to have problems down the road. Submit the new Unconditional as soon as possible. In the futureSee More...

Generally speaking, you cannot file a mechanic’s lien on a public works project. Your remedy is either a “Stop Work Notice” or a claim against the General
Contractor’s payment bond. Stop Work Notice for Public Works A stop work notice claimant must have served a 20-day preliminary notice within 20 days of
commencing work as a condition of filing the stop notice. California Civil Code Section 8508. The stop work notice must be served upon the publicSee More...
