Construction projects often involve multiple parties and complex contracts. Florida’s construction lien law exists to protect everyone’s rights — but only if followed correctly.
What Is a Construction Lien?
A construction lien allows contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to claim payment for work performed or materials provided if they aren’t paid.
For Property Owners
Owners must ensure they receive a Release of Lien upon payment to avoid double liability. Hiring an attorney during contract drafting can help prevent disputes down the line.
For Contractors
Following strict timelines and notice requirements under Florida Statute §713 is essential to preserve your lien rights. A missed deadline can void your claim.
