Notice of Commencement

I am a first time flipper.
GeorgiaThe owner is now playing games and does not want to pay, since we are almost done. He's paid all the way up until now, so I wanted to find out what our rights would be.
FloridaStupid question from a new Florida homeowner... Putting a new roof on my home, the job is tile so expensive. The NOC is mandatory? And how soon is the lien released once job is complete and paid in full? Also how do you protect yourself as a homeowner from the Florida Contractors Lien?
I know crazy questions.
Thank you
FloridaWe own a small asphalt paving company and recently received a Request for copy of notice of commencement. We have never seen this before or know what it is or what to do with it. I have researched this, and it looks like it is the property owners responsibility to get one for the project. We typically bid a job, then the customer accepts it, signs, and we file for permits if needed, then complete the job and invoice. Do I now have to get a NOC for each job? Even if we are the only contractor? Please help.
MichiganHello, I work in an Accounting Department for a construction company. On most of our jobs, we are hired as the General Contractor. I am the person that collects a copy of the recorded NOC, files the NOFs we receive from subcontractors, as well as prepare and send lien waivers before payment is issued to subcontractors. I do have a question regarding the NOFs along with lien waivers. Say for instance we are working with an electrical company, ABC Electrical, and they get their supplies from 123 Electric. The NOF that we we would typically receive would be from 123 Electric, and it would state that the "undersigned is furnishing to ABC Electrical." Do I need to have any sort of full lien waiver signed by ABC Electrical for 123 Electric stating that once we pay ABC Electrical, they agree to pay 123 Electric? I am confident in the lien waivers that I send directly to subcontractors with that we have signed contracts with. What I am not so sure about is when we get NOFs from companies that our subcontractors are working with. Any insights that you would find helpful related to this matter would be extremely appreciated. Thank you, Lexie Bruske FED Design/Builders lexie@fedcorp.com 989-246-9122
MichiganIf I am long term leasing a commercial space that I am hiring a GC to renovate in a state where "property owner" is required to file NOC, do I file the Notice of Commencement as "Owner"?
Floridacan a filed NOC that is with a submitted permit pack be rescinded and then reinstated for the homeowner who is wishing to re-finance and is not able due to the active NOC?
FloridaWe are a GC out of Michigan, which is a Notice of Commencement state, but are doing projects in Missouri. Wondering if Missouri is a Notice of Commencement state
IndianaCan a contractor file a notice of commencement if he is managing the construction project for the owner that hired another contractor to do the construction?
FloridaI'm the owner and I built a fence on my property...Do I need a Notice of Commencement
FloridaPer Fla. Stat. § 713.13(1)(d)2, if work is not commenced within 90 days of NOC being filed, the NOC is void.
We got an NOC filed on our property on 6/12/20 by a window company. We are 83 days in from that date and no work has commenced. We are being told our windows are not due to arrive till later this month, being well over that 90 day benchmark.
We are wanting to refinance our home at the moment due to the extra low interest rates. I am wanting to find out how this 90 day voiding period can help.
I have expressed to the window company that I do not want to cancel our contract nor the job, I just want the NOC terminated so we can refinance and file a new loan before the window lien hits our title/deed. We are also willing to resign a new NOC to be refilled after the refinance.
Thank you for your response!
FloridaDoes a general contractor have to file a notice of commencement before beginning a project in Ohio in order to be eligible to file a mechanics lien? This is a bank funded project and the home owners are refusing to sign off on having a final inspection and final draw as they are unhappy with certain items that they asked us to do and I will not change for free.
OhioA municipality is denying a recorded notice of commencement which had all the legally required information on it and forcing me to use an a certain notice of commencement of theirs.
FloridaHi, I'm building a fence in my backyard. Can you share the steps I should take?
FloridaIf I the subcontractor did not send a Notice of Furnishing but also the Owner did not submit a Notice of Commencement does anyone have lien rights?
