Full text of California Public Contract Code - PCC § 17431 — Notwithstanding any other law, an owner, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 17431. Notwithstanding any other law, an owner
Notwithstanding any other law, an ownerâs development lien created pursuant to this article is a covenant for the benefit of the school district or districts expressly described therein which shall, upon recordation with the county recorder of the county in which the real property is located, run with the land described in the document by which the lien is placed of record. The ownerâs development lien shall be binding upon successors in interest, during their ownership, of any portion of such land affected thereby and each person having an interest therein derived through any owner of the land owned by the covenantor. The covenant running with the land created by the ownerâs development lien as provided in this section constitutes a valid covenant notwithstanding the fact that it is created in connection with only one estate and is imposed upon a single parcel and is intended to be for the benefit of a school district or districts who are not a landowner or owners.
