Rights on filing lien for Retainage

FloridaBonding Off LienLien DeadlinesMechanics LienRetainageRight to Lien

For Retainage are you limited to the 90 day for Filing a Lien in Florida? We have a job that was Bonded and a Hud job that we've been told repeatedly that the owners and Hud had not signed off on for retainage to be released. We had personally changes in the office and were not sure when the project was actually approved for retainage billing. After several months of being given the run around from the GC about the status of the retainage we submitted a lien. Now we have been contacted from an Attorney of the Owners stating that we can't file this lien due to the time frame of when we were last on the project. However the project was not closed out until after 8 months of when we were on site and it was released to bill retainage.
