Preliminary Notice
Florida
When we filed the notice to owners we marked the owner under "other" rather than owner but he did receive the notice and we have the returned receipt from the post office
FloridaWe are a subcontractor and at times we get a letter of Intent from a GC but it takes time to get the PO or a contact from them. We order custom fence can we file a NTO from a LOI or should we hold the project until we get the PO or contract?
FloridaFor example, we are working with Norwegian Cruise Line for their private island - Great Stirrup Cay, Berry Islands Bahamas.
Floridathere is no contractor the owner has about 300 properties and he will not pay
Floridawhat if i was hired by the owner
FloridaIn Florida many exempt entities purchase from us (vendor) directly to avoid sales tax. When selling directly to an owner (BOE, Hospital, Church, County) do we need to file a Notice to Owner or Notice of Furnishing to retain lien rights? How would lien/bond rights work in this situation. Would we still have any protection should we not be paid?
FloridaFor restoration companies in Florida - when a commercial or property management team is our client, does the Notice to owner need to be sent to the Registered Agent? If it's not, would it still hold up in court later on?
FloridaI'm supplier. Material on 12/19/19. And it's installed on driveway
The homeowner is State Trooper so we can not search who owns the house.
He said he already pay the contractor, so it's not his problem.
The contractor disappear and don't pay us either
In this case, can we file mechanic lien?
We come to State Trooper's house on 02/14, he said he never sign owner name when he received the mail so we can't file lien, he said he aked the lawyer already.
I sound like homeowner and contractor try to not paid. What should we do?
FloridaI have a question about filing a NTO.
We are the 4th tier subcontractor for a job.
Owner, GC, Sub1, Sub2, then us Sub3.
Are we not able to file a NTO?
This a big job and we have already filed a NTO as a third tier sub, but they are adding subjobs under other subs and we are being pushed down the tier.
Thank you
Floridawe are new to levelset and sent our first preliminary NTO. We were told it was a friendly notice that we were protecting our rights to be paid from the project. But having seen the actual document sent it is written with more legalese than we expected.
We had this sent to our customer and between the time we requested it and the time they received it they paid their final invoice. They are now calling us, rather upset with the wording of this and want us to send something that says its rescinded.
In my mind there is nothing to rescind since its the Preliminary NTO. We will send them a paid in full invoice.
I am looking for guidance on how to explain this to our customers when they call.
I called levelset and they said I should ask the question to the lawyers since they felt they couldn't answer it fully.
I don't know if I have explained this well enough. If you want to call our phone is 727-944-3500. thank you
FloridaI have a subcontractor that is collecting dirt from my land and I want to put a notice to owner on them, Should all subcontractors, contractors, basically all parties be on the notice of commencement? In the event that someone would potentially be lying to me about working a specific site what is the best way to confirm they are contracted on it?
FloridaWhat happens if a property is sold after you submit a NTO? Do you get notified of the new owner? Do you still have lien rights?
FloridaWe are a painting company in FL. A lot of the time time we are working on existing perimeter walls (around neighborhoods, etc). With this being the case, I have no NOC and no official address as it is just a wall. I looked it up on property appraiser and it looks like the wall stretches across multiple parcels. The work is being done for a home owners association. Please advise on how to NTO on a perimeter wall that doesn’t have a specific address.
FloridaI am getting ready to send a notice to owner regarding a large project that involves one owner and 80 properties (addresses). We were hired as sub contractors to install ac units at these properties. Can the notice include multiple properties (since it is the same owner / project) or do I have to send out 1 notice for each address, thus sending 80 notices? If that is the case, can 80 notices be sent in one big certified envelope (containing 80 separate notice to owners?
FloridaMy NTO was sent in the first 45 days of being on the job, but I didn't have owner information and couldn't find it. I sent the NTO to my customer, who is the GC.
We're now past the 45 days to send the NTO, but if I can find the owner and resend the NTO, would that protect my job? Or am I out of luck as far as meeting my NTO requirement?
Are there any provisions for amending an NTO after the deadline? Thanks.
Florida
