Guide to filing a mechanics lien in Brevard County

Brevard County is one of the biggest counties in Florida, and making sure you have all the right information before filing a mechanics lien makes the process simpler, quicker, and hassle-free. Florida lien law has a few unique limitations for who can and cannot file a mechanics lien, so make sure you do your research before recording your lien with the Brevard County Clerk. Here are a few of the key points:

The state of Florida requires lien claimants to submit a notice to owner, also known as a preliminary notice, to the property owner to retain your lien rights. The deadline for NTOs in Florida is 45 days after work, services, or materials are first provided on a construction project.
Lien claimants have a deadline of 90 days to file a mechanics lien claim after the last day work was done on a project. In most other states, the deadline is triggered by the date of the official end of the project, but not in Florida.
Although most parties on a construction project have lien rights, some do not. The parties that can’t file a mechanics lien in Florida include sub-sub-subcontractors, suppliers to suppliers, suppliers to sub-sub-subcontractors, maintenance workers, and unlicensed contractors.
Exaggerating the lien amount is illegal in every state, but it’s a felony in Florida.
