*ATTENTION CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, MATERIAL SUPPLIERS*

Chapter 713 of the Florida Statutes, commonly referred to as the “Construction Lien Laws,” was created by the Florida Legislature to ensure all contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers are paid for the services they provide. The Construction Lien Laws provide a contractor, subcontractor, and/or material supplier with the extraordinary remedy of placing a lien on a person’s real property if they are not paid for the services they provide. In order to benefit from the Construction Lien Laws, strict compliance with the Florida Statutes is required. Too often, a contractor, subcontractor, and/or material supplier will contact us after they have attempted to fill out lien forms on their own, and as a result, have lost their right to a “construction lien.” Doing it yourself or buying contractor forms at an office supply store can cost you your lien rights and money. As the Construction Lien Laws are time sensitive and strictly construed, it is imperative that you contact our office as soon as possible if you believe you will not be paid for the work you have provided.
