California Mechanics' Lien Law

California Mechanics' Lien Law provides a legal framework that allows contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to secure payment for work performed or materials supplied on a construction project. If they are not paid, they can file a lien against the property, which acts as a claim to ensure they receive payment. The lien must be filed within a specific timeframe, and the property owner is notified. This law is designed to protect those who contribute to the construction or improvement of a property, ensuring they are compensated for their services and materials.
