GC used our license to get the main permit to start a new construct and did not hire us.

FloridaMechanics LienNotice of Intent to Lien

We have been a licensed HVAC contractor for 30 yrs. We have a GC who has hired my company to do the HVAC in the past for 20 yrs. Now, he used our license to get his main permits to build a house. And, we didn't get the job. Only after we were told that he pulls the permits for planning. That his intentions is for us to have the job. But, I kept calling him on this one and he would make excuses for 4 months as he had no intentions of using us. Now, that he used our license to get the main permits. I, believe he owes me at least $500.00 - would that qualify for a mechanical lien..

You likely do not have a lien on the property, becaue you did not actually improve it. But you should contact the building department and remove your company and license from the permit to prevent liability from coming back on you.
