Fremont Hills is our customer, we are still onsite but not getting any type of payment, can I file a mechanics lien or do I have to file intent to lien first?

Under California mechanics lien law, there is no "Notice of Intent" requirements. However, before filing a mechanics lien, the claimant must deliver a copy of the lien claim document by certified mail before filing. Also, be sure to keep a record/receipt of sending the claim to the owner. The reason for this being that, in order to properly file a CA mechanics lien, the claimant must attach an "Affidavit of Delivery" as proof that a copy was sent to the owner. There's no need to wait until the copy is actually delivered, as long as there is proof that a copy of the claim was sent to the required party (property owner) by the required means (certified mail).
