Insurance & LiensQuestion 1500 of 1605
A material supplier who furnishes materials to a subcontractor (not to the owner directly) preserves its mechanics lien rights by serving a preliminary notice on:
a.Only the subcontractor it dealt with
b.Only the owner
c.The owner, the direct contractor, and the construction lender (if any)
d.The CSLB
Explanation
Because the supplier has no direct contract with the owner, Civil Code §8200 requires service of the preliminary notice on the owner, the direct contractor, and the construction lender (if any). Serving only the subcontractor it dealt with is insufficient.
