Summary

The California Constitution gives workers the right to a mechanics lien for the value of labor and materials provided for the improvement of real property, and authorizes the Legislature to provide for the speedy and efficient enforcement of these liens. Existing law requires a claim of mechanics lien to be served on the owner or reputed owner of the property in order to be valid, and requires a proof of service affidavit to show the name of the person upon whom the mechanics lien was served. This bill would clarify that the affidavit is required to show the name of the owner or reputed owner of the property, and the title or capacity in which the person or entity was served.
