Claim of Lien
A Claim of Lien is a form of payment security for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers that allows them a legal claim to real property in the amount of the services or materials provided. It's essential to understand and follow your state's legal requirements to effectively leverage this powerful tool for securing payment. When you enlist the help of the experienced team at Lien Right Notices, we manage the Notice to Owner and Claim of Lien process for you so that you can get paid and focus on your business.
Ensure you get paid for your work by contacting Lien Right Notices at 561-705-5500.
Serving a Notice to Owner
Before you can record a Claim of Lien on a property, you must properly file a Notice to Owner (NTO), which officially notifies the owner that you're doing work there. You must serve this NTO within 45 days from the first day you supply materials or labor to their property. If you miss this deadline, you won't be able to record a Claim of Lien.
Recording a Claim of Lien
If you don't receive prompt payment for your work, you can use our system to prepare a Claim of Lien for you against the property for the unpaid amount. The date of recording must be within 90 days from your last day of work on the job for it to be valid, and you must file it in the county where you're doing the work.
Our office can serve the owner with a copy of the Claim of Lien within 15 days of filing it, according to Florida law. We work with our sister company, E-Recording Inc. to record documents with the Official Records department in each county.
Our Lien Right Notices team will include all the required information on your Claim of Lien:
- Your name, address, and signature
- The property owner's name and address
- The hiring party's name and address
- A description of the property
- A description of the services or materials you're providing
- The date you begin providing services or materials on the property
- The date of your last day of work on the property
- The dollar amount due and unpaid for the services or materials you provided
- The total dollar amount of the service contract
- The date you filed a Notice to Owner
