CALIFORNIA STORE SALES ONLY NOTICE TO OWNER (SECTION 7018.5-CONTRACTOR LICENSE LAW)

THE LAW REQUIRES THAT BEFORE A LICENSED CONTRACTOR CAN ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH YOU FOR WORK OF IMPROVEMENT ON YOUR PROPERTY HE MUST GIVE YOU A COPY OF THIS NOTICE.

"Under the California Mechanic's lien law any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, supplier, or other person or entity who helps to improve your property, but is not paid for his or her work supplies, has a right to place a lien on your home, land or property where the work was performed and to sue you in court to obtain payment. This means that after the court hearing, you home, land, property could be sold by a court officer and the proceeds of the sale used to satisfy what you owe. This can happen even if you have your contractor in full if the contractor's subcontractors, laborers, or suppliers remain unpaid.

To preserve their rights to file a claim or lien against your property, certain claimants such as subcontractors or material supplies are each required to provide you with a document called a "Preliminary Notice. Contractors and laborers who contract with owners directly do not have to provide such notice since you are aware of their existence as an owner. A preliminary notice is not alien against your property. Its purpose is to notify you of persons or entities that may have a right to file a lien against your property if they are not paid. In order to protect their lien rights, a contractor, subcontractor, suppliers or laborer must file a mechanic's lien against your property if they are not pald. In order to protect their lien rights, a contractor, subcontractor, supplies or laborer must file a mechanic's lien with the county recorder which then becomes a recorded lien against your property. Generally, the maximum time allowed for filing a mechanics lien against your property is 90 days after substantial completion of your project.

TO INSURE EXTRA PROTECTION OF YOURSELF AND YOUR PROPERTY, YOU MAY WISH TO TAKE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

(1) require that your contractor supply you with a payment and performance bond (not a license bond), which provides that the bonding company will either complete the project or pay damages up to the amount of the bond. This payment and performance bond as well as a copy of the construction contract should be filed with the court recorder for your further protection. The payment and performance will usually cost from 1 to 5 percent of the contract amount depending on the contractor's bonding ability it the contractor cannot obtain such bonding ability if the contractor cannot obtain such bonding, it may indicate his or her financial incapacity.

(2) require that payments be made directly to subcontractors and material suppliers through a joint control. Funding services may

be available for a fee you your area which will establish voucher or other means of payment to your contractor. These services may also provide you with lien waivers and other forms of protection. Any joint control agreement should include the addendum approved by the registrar.

(3) Issue joint checks for payment, made out to both your contractor and subcontractor or material supplies involved in the project.

The joint checks should be made payable to the person or entities which send preliminary notices to you. Those persons or entities have indicated that they may have lien rights on your property, therefore you need to protect yourself. This will help to insure that all persons due payment are actually paid.

(4) Upon making payment on any completed phase of the project, and before making any further payments, require your contractor to provide you with unconditional "Waiver and Release" forms signed by each material supplier, subcontractor, and laborer involved in that portion of the work for which payment was made. The statutory lien releases are set forth in exact language in Section 3262 of the Civil Code. Most stationery stores will sell the Waiver and Release" forms if you contractor does not have them. The material suppliers, subcontractors and laborers working on your project, you may obtain a list from your contractor. On projects involving improvements to a single-family resident or duplex owned by individuals, the persons signing these releases lose the right to file a mechanic's lien against your property, it can only be voluntarily released by a recorded "Release of Mechanic's Lien" signed by the person or entity that filed the mechanic's lien against your property unless the lawsuit to enforce the lien was not timely filed. You should not make any final payments until any and such liens are removed. You should consult an attorney if a lien is filed against your property.
