A valid claim identifies the parties, the project's location, relevant dates, a list of work and associated charges, any payments, and the amount due.

The notice may be served by any person in the same manner that original notices are required to be served, such as personal service or certified mail. Id.

My mind is blown! For some reason, our veteran title companies wouldn't record our deed but luckily, the assessor's page recommended Deeds and other sites to e-record. It was so simple and so convenient!
