Non-Responsibility Notices and Preliminary Notice Forms

Send the Owner a Preliminary Notice even if they've filed a Non-Responsibility Notice

Question: We are the GC. The Property Owner is filing a Non-Responsibility Notice, do we still list them on the Preliminary Notice?

Brandy, Facility Builders, Anaheim CA


Answer: A notice of non-responsibility is not necessarily valid. It must be posted during the 10-day period following the owner's learning that construction is occurring at the request of a tenant.

Therefore, the owner should always be listed on and receive a preliminary notice despite the notice of non-responsibility.

The tenant should also be listed on and receive a preliminary notice unless the claimant is contracting directly with the tenant.
