Basics of a Pre-Lien
A Pre-Lien is a notice that informs all interested parties that a claimant is providing labor and/or materials and will have rights to a construction lien, stop notice, and bond claim if the claimant is not paid for his/her work. The Pre-Lien is a prerequisite for filing a construction lien, serving a stop notice, or making a claim against a bond to obtain payment.
In California, the Pre-Lien is called a "Preliminary Notice." This notice is required for both private construction jobs and public works of improvement for California’s state or local government agencies.
