What Is the California Preliminary Notice?

The California Preliminary Notice (also called the 20-Day Notice) is a notice intended to inform a property owner, lender, and/or project contractor or other interested party that someone is working on the project who has a right to file and enforce a mechanic's lien or stop notice against the property should payment not be met.

If you are a material supplier and you do not have a direct contractual relationship with the owner but are dealing through an original contractor or another subcontractor, you must serve the Preliminary Notice in order to later enforce a mechanic's lien.
