The Basics Of Florida Construction Liens
A construction lien acts as a legal claim against a property. It puts a cloud on a title, can prevent a sale/closing and could potentially lead to a foreclosure. It is meant to help ensure that those who provide labor or materials for a construction project receive payment. Contractors, subcontractors and suppliers are among those who typically can file for a lien if they aren’t paid. However, Florida law sets strict timelines when it comes to key steps such as:
- Preserving lien rights: Parties who have not formed a contract directly with the property owner typically have to provide notice to the owner within 45 days of starting work to preserve these rights.
- Recording a lien: This typically must occur within 90 days of completing work.
Serving the lien on the owner: This generally has to occur no later than 15 days after recording. - Enforcing the lien: A legal action to foreclose on the property generally has to be made within one year of the recording date. There are certain things that can shorten this timeline.
Whether these deadlines are met can have big impacts on the rights of all parties involved.
