This is a great question, and one we get fairly often at zlien. Because lien rights are rooted in the underlying property, the applicable lien waiver rules will be determined by the location of the property where lien rights are being waived. For materials supplied in Oregon, lien waivers must abide by Oregon's (relatively relaxed) lien waiver laws. For materials supplied in California, California's lien waiver rules will apply. California's waiver laws are particularly strict, so be sure to use the statutorily required forms found in § 8132- § 8138 of the California mechanics lien statute when sending California waivers.
