As a GC, you have 60 days from recordation of a Notice of Completion (NOC) to record a lien, or 90 days after completion of the entire project if no NOC is recorded. If you're not getting paid, don't let that deadline pass you by, if it has not already, before your record a lien. You must file suit within 90 days of recording the lien. Good luck.
