Verification matters and here's why...
Learn moreBICA monitors your job for recorded Notices of Completion in every Southern California county, most Northern California counties as well as Maricopa County, Arizona. The Notice of Completion is a critical document for determining the time you have remaining to secure your Mechanics’ Lien and Stop Payment Notice (SPN).
Many times, you’re not notified of the recording of a NOC. Your time for recording your lien or serving your SPN is already running. Without knowing that the NOC has been recorded, your time to file those notices to secure payment may be gone.
You can also get immediate NOC information by calling our Notice of Completion Department, Monday through Friday, 8am – 5pm PST
