San Diego is a top-10 permit city and a Civil Code §8200 market. Coastal infill and military-adjacent work still dies without the 20-day prelim.
First furnishing in San Diego County starts the same 20-day clock as Los Angeles. Late service only covers the prior 20 days. We draft owner, original contractor, and lender copies.
Preliminary notice within 20 days of first furnishing labor or materials. Late notice (§8204) keeps rights only for the 20 days before service. Mechanics lien generally 90 days after completion (§8412); a notice of completion can cut that to 30 (§8414).
