The process for filing a California mechanics lien is pretty simple. Broadly, a claimant will need to fill out a California mechanics lien form, record it with the county recorder of the county where the construction project was located, and give notice that the lien was filed. You can get an extremely-detailed breakdown of that filing process here: How to File A California Mechanics Lien – Step By Step Guide. And, you can take a deeper look at the California mechanics lien requirements here: California Mechanics Lien Guide and FAQs. Of course, these the lien provisions relating to putting a lien on a home for construction-related work. A California mechanics lien will generally only be available to those who have performed work which permanently improved the project property in some physical way. So, if you're looking for more information about filing a lien for some other basis, a mechanics lien may not be the most appropriate option.
