6.3. This certificate is made in two copies, one for each party.
6.4. Mechanics lien deadlines, retainage limits and warranty periods are set by state law and run from dates like the one recorded here, so record the date accurately. This certificate is not a notice of completion: where state law provides one, the owner records it separately within a set time after completion (for example within 15 days in California, Cal. Civ. Code 8182). This certificate does not waive or release any lien right either. A lien waiver is a separate document, and where state law sets a statutory form, only a waiver in that form is effective (for example Cal. Civ. Code 8124). This template is not legal advice.
