California Code, Streets and Highways Code - SHC § 5627

From and after the date of the recording of the notice of lien, all persons shall be deemed to have had notice of the contents thereof.  The notice of lien may include claims against one or more separate parcels of property, whether contiguous or not, together with the amount due, respectively, from each such parcel.  The statute of limitation shall not run against the right of the city to enforce the payment of the lien.  If any such lien is not paid the city may file and maintain an action to foreclose such lien in the same manner and under the same procedure, so far as applicable, as that under which delinquent bonds are foreclosed under this division.
