How soon must a notice of completion be recorded after work is completed?

5 days.
10 days.
15 days.
30 days.

The correct answer is: 10 days.

The correct timing for recording a notice of completion after the work is completed is 10 days. This requirement is essential as it serves several purposes, such as establishing the date of completion for the project and triggering various legal timelines related to liens and claims. Recording the notice of completion within this 10-day window helps contractors and property owners manage potential lien rights that subcontractors and suppliers may have. If the notice is not recorded within this timeframe, it can complicate the process of settling any claims or disputes that may arise later regarding payment for work done. This 10-day period is mandated by California law to ensure clarity and protect the rights of all parties involved in a construction project.
