California Lien Search
About California Lien Search
Quick answer. A California lien search might be a county recorder search, a Secretary of State UCC or state-tax-lien row, or an FTB question. A bizfile “active” status does not clear any of those.
What this site is for
Mechanic’s liens and deeds of trust sit in county land records. The Secretary of State’s UCC system also holds certain judgment liens, attachment liens, and state and federal tax liens that statutes file there. Filter the type. FTB lien payoff and release status belong to FTB, not to a stale notice amount.
County pages link the recorder or clerk we have on file. Search the owner and the parcel. A false mechanic’s lien has statutory consequences. We do not advise whether a filing was false.
What we will not pretend to be
California Lien Search is not a county recorder, the FTB, or the Secretary of State.
