Hello, I'm a little confused as to the deadline(s) for filing a Mechanic's lien. Is it 90 days from the completion of the project OR from the last time we supplied material/labor? (as the subcontractor). No notice of completion nor cessation has been filed. Thanks, pat
The deadline for subcontractors to file a California mechanics lien is 90 days measured from the completion of the project as a whole; rather than the last date of furnishing labor or materials to the project. If a Notice of Completion/Cessation is filed, then the filing deadline is just 30 days from the date the notice was recorded.
