I' m a subcontractor, we BID (initially) and performed our first set of work at a job over a year ago. Due to the contractor procrastination and the current economy, we have sent new estimates since then. Does the Intent To Lien notice deadline change with every estimate given?
First, there is no such thing in Florida as "notice of intent to lien." You can send one if you like, but it has no legal effect. What you may be referring to is a "Notice to Owner", which is a document a subcontractor must serve on the owner if the sub wants to preserve its lien rights. That document is due no later than 45 days after FIRST FURNISHING labor, service or materials. In other words, your bid date is irrelevant. The relevant date is when you actually start work on the job.
