Florida Notice to Owner Requirements

A Florida Notice to Owner is required by most project participants on nearly every project within the state. It must be sent within 45 days from first furnishing services or materials to the project, when work begins on making specialty materials; whichever is earlier. Failure to send this notice is fatal to a mechanics lien claim. 

Exceptions to the Notice to Owner Requirements

There are a few exceptions of sending a Notice to Owner. If a potential claimant falls into one of these categories, an NTO is not required to file a mechanics lien claim. The first is if the contractor contracted directly with the property owner or their agent. All other contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers must send notice. As for the second; this is if the claimant is a laborer, performed site work or is considered a "professional." Site work means any work that makes the site itself suitable for construction, such as excavating. As for professionals, this includes architects, engineers, landscape architects, and other similar services. If the claimant doesn't fall into one of these categories, failure to send an NTO within the first 45 days of furnishing labor or materials will not have mechanics lien rights.
