A Central California based excavation company asked our TRADITION LIEN SERVICE division to record a CALIFORNIA Mechanics Lien in Tulare county for non-payment for labor and materials provided on a new self storage site in Porterville, CA. According to Wikipedia Tulare County is named for Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Great Lakes.
The Tulare county Recorder’s fees to record are as follows: $109 for 1st page (includes $75 SB2: Building Homes and Jobs Act fee). $3 each additional page. (document size 8-1/2″ x 11″). Make checks payable to TULARE COUNTY RECORDER and they will accept out-of-state business checks.
Actual recording is 1-2 business days when received by mail . The original document will be mailed back 1-2 weeks after recording.
Once a CALIFORNIA Mechanics Lien is recorded, as Claimant you are required to file suit to foreclose on the lien within ninety (90) days from date the CALIFORNIA Mechanics Lien was recorded. This deadline can be extended for up to a total of one (1) year with the consent of all legal parties by filing a CALIFORNIA Notice Of Credit for extension.
