Our service can help your company by:

  • Preparing and serving preliminary notices for your construction projects;
  • Maintaining copies of served notices and liens on our secure servers, accessible to your company through a secure login;

    Hi Scott. Am I missing something or is the Prelim Notice Form on your site out of date? It refers to CC 3097 and 3098, not the new codification reference at CC 8000

      Gordon, thanks for your comment and your message. In looking at this post (from 2008, wow, it is old!), it appears you are correct. The forms do not reflect the statutory change from earlier this year. We have over 2500 pages throughout the Zlien site and blog and there are a lot of links to forms throughout. An example is this blog post, originally published in 2008, that was not updated.

      First, I updated the post and the links are now pointing to the new forms. Second, we have more recent posts with these forms with more up-to-date information which may be helpful to you.
