For many CA lien claimants other than the direct contractor, a valid notice of completion can shorten the lien recording deadline to 30 days. If notice is recorded on May 5, what date is 30 days later?
Correct Answer
A) June 4.
Thirty calendar days after May 5 is June 4.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Thirty calendar days after May 5 is June 4.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: May 20.
May 20. is above the supported result for notice of completion; it likely adds scope or money the rule does not allow.
Option C: June 20.
June 20. is above the supported result for notice of completion; it likely adds scope or money the rule does not allow.
Option D: August 3.
August 3. is below the supported result for notice of completion; it likely omits part of the approved scope, cap, credit, or holdback.
Memory Technique
Calendar before dollars; days before balance in Calendaring Lien.
Reference Hint
Study anchor (closed-book): memorize Notice of completion from CSLB Mechanics Lien guidance; California Civil Code / California Civil Code notice of completion; mechanics lien deadline for claimants; know the rule or calculation trigger without relying on exam-room lookup.
