California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 10 — Actions in Particular Cases, Chapter 4 — Quiet Title, Article 4 — Service of Process, Section 763.020

Whenever the court orders service by publication, the order is subject to the following conditions:

(a) The plaintiff shall post, not later than 10 days after the date the order is made, a copy of the summons and complaint in a conspicuous place on the real property that is the subject of the action.

(b) The plaintiff shall record, if not already recorded, a notice of the pendency of the action.

(c) The publication shall describe the property that is the subject of the action. In addition to particularly describing the property, the publication shall describe the property by giving its street address, if any, or other common designation, if any; but, if a legal description of the property is given, the validity of the publication shall not be affected by the fact that the street address or other common designation recited is erroneous or that the street address or other common designation is omitted.

Notes

Requires a plaintiff, when service by publication is ordered, to post the summons and complaint conspicuously on the subject property within 10 days, record a notice of pendency if needed, and ensure publication describes the property. If a legal description is included, an erroneous or omitted street address or common designation does not invalidate the publication.
