Improvement Act

California · SHC · §§ 5000 to 6794 · 521 sections

Overview

The Improvement Act governs the undertaking of improvement work in California, establishing the general rules that apply to proceedings brought under it and defining the kinds of work that may be carried out. A substantial part of the act sets out how notice must be given, providing separate requirements for notice by publication, notice by posting, and notice by mail. Its main mechanisms are therefore twofold: delimiting the scope of work authorized, and prescribing the formal steps by which interested parties are informed of the proceedings.
