  • Applies to tenancy-in-common partition actions filed on or after Jan. 1, 2023 without a binding cotenancy agreement (874.311). Runs from the date the notice is sent; whether CCP 1013 adds days to a court-mailed notice is not addressed, so none added.
  • If the clerk's office is closed or inaccessible on the last day (weather, emergency or local closure orders), the deadline may be extended. Check local orders.
