Common Questions
Who can file a Mechanics Lien in California?
Any contractor, subcontractor, material supplier, or laborer who has provided work or materials on a California construction project and has not been paid in full.
What is the deadline to file?
You must file within 90 days of project completion or the last date you provided labor or materials. For some claimants, a preliminary notice may also be required before filing. FieldLatch guides you through this.

Do I need a lawyer?
No. FieldLatch handles the lien preparation and certified mailing. For complex disputes or foreclosure of a lien, consulting an attorney is recommended — but for filing the lien itself, you don't need one.
What happens after I file?
Your lien is sent to the property owner via USPS certified mail. You receive proof of mailing and a tracking number. The lien is then a matter of public record and protects your right to payment.
