Notice to Owner with no Signature deliver to reception, Do i Still have Legal Rights?

FloridaNotice of Intent to Lien

I am a subcontractor, I send a Notice to Owner to the address that appear on the drawings as the physical address of the owner. The notice was sent through certified mail. The UPS tracking number show the Notice to owner as been deliver to the front desk, reception area or mail room. the owner is stating she never received the notice. She is Saying i don't have no legal rights to Lien the Property. Is this correct? do i still have any rights? the GC of the job received this notice to owner.

You are allowed to use the owner's address as it is stated on the Notice of Commencement (NOC), a copy of which is required to be posted on the job site. Check the address that you used against the NOC. If the NOC is not posted or was not done at all then you may use the owner's address as stated on the application for the building permit, a copy of which may be obtained from the building authority. If they don't match then you should consult with a lawyer where the project is located for an analysis of your lien rights under your circumstances.
