FLORIDA’S LIEN LAWS:
You have 45 days from first starting contracted work to serve a Notice to Owner under Florida’s Lien Laws. You can serve your notice anytime before you start work. If you fail to timely serve a Notice to Owner, then it is more likely that sophisticated owners and contractors may use that fact to not timely or fully pay you for your services. So, for a small fee of $35 plus postage, let the Williams Law Firm prepare and serve your notices to owner and preserve your rights to Get Paid!
Florida’s Construction Lien Laws allow you to lien the real property you improved if you are not timely paid. However, if you do not have a direct contract with the real property owner, then you must timely and properly serve the Owner (and possibly others) a “Notice to Owner” and follow Florida’s Lien Laws in order to preserve your rights later to record a claim of lien. The Notice to Owner or “NTO” for short, puts those you serve it to on “notice” that you are working on their job and you will be looking to them for payment for your work. If your Notice is timely and properly served, then you can preserve your rights to possibly Get Paid from a forced sale of the property if you do not get paid what you are owed.
If the job is bonded (i.e. there is a payment bond – usually recorded with the Notice of Commencement, or can be requested from the General Contractor or Owner), and you do not have a direct contract with the General Contractor, then you must timely and properly serve the General Contractor and Owner with a Notice to Contractor.
FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION LIEN LAW ALLOWS SOME UNPAID CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, AND MATERIAL SUPPLIERS TO FILE LIENS AGAINST PROPERTY, EVEN IF THE OWNER HAS MADE PAYMENT IN FULL TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR. UNDER FLORIDA LAW, AN OWNER’S FAILURE TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE GIVING THE OWNER A NOTICE TO OWNER ARE PAID, MAY RESULT IN A LIEN AGAINST THE OWNER’S PROPERTY AND THE OWNER HAVING TO PAY TWICE. TO AVOID A LIEN AND PAYING TWICE, OWNER’S NEED TO MAKE PROPER PAYMENTS BY GETTING A LIEN RELEASE FROM THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED NOTICE TO OWNER EVERY TIME THE OWNER PAYS ITS CONTRACTOR.
