In order to file a California mechanics lien, a potential lien claimant will need to send a preliminary notice, yes. That notice must be sent within 20 days of first furnishing labor or materials, though late notice can still be partially effective. If you're asking about a public works project - a preliminary notice must be sent prior to making a bond claim, too. You can learn everything there is to know about California preliminary notices at the following resources: - The Ultimate Guide to California’s 20-Day Preliminary Notice - California Preliminary Notice Guide and FAQs - California Preliminary Notice Legal Questions & Answers
