Our client in Southern California was under contract as the subcontractor for one division of their business and as the direct contractor as another division. They moved forward with two Mechanics Liens when they had not received payment for work performed on a popular restaurant chain location.

San Bernardino County charges $18.00 for the first page and $3.00 for each additional page of a lien. It takes 3 weeks for the Mechanics Lien to be recorded, but indexing information can be viewed on their website 2 days after the lien has been recorded. Be sure to include and extra copy, a self addressed stamped envelope, and an additional $6.00 for a conformed copy. (The fee was updated in July.) Checks are made payable to COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO RECORDER.

Once a CALIFORNIA Mechanics Lien is recorded, as Claimant you are required to file suit to foreclose on the lien within ninety (90) days from date the CALIFORNIA Mechanics Lien was recorded. This deadline can be extended for up to a total of one (1) year with the consent of all legal parties by filing a CALIFORNIA Notice Of Credit for extension.
