“5 Key Points About Florida’s Construction Lien Law”

– Serving a “Notice to Owner” is crucial for letting the owner know who is working on the project, and failure to do so can prevent the lienor from foreclosing on a lien.
– A “Claim of Lien” must be recorded within 90 days of the final furnishing of labor, services, or materials, and the lienor has one year to foreclose the lien.
– If the lienor doesn’t have the necessary licenses, their work can be deemed illegal, resulting in a loss of their lien rights.
– The “Notice of Commencement” provides information on parties involved in the project, and any errors in it cannot be used as a defense for failing to serve notices and liens.
– Section 713.29, Florida Statutes, allows a lienor to recover attorney’s fees if they are the prevailing party in enforcing their lien.
