Florida Construction Lien Law: Essential Information for Contractors and Suppliers

Understanding and adhering to these requirements is crucial for protecting your payment rights on construction projects throughout the state.
Eligibility to File a Mechanic's Lien in Florida
In Florida, a wide range of professionals and entities involved in construction projects have the right to file a mechanic's lien. These include prime contractors, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers.
Additionally, architects, engineers, and other professionals who contribute to the project are also granted lien rights. It is important to note that possessing a valid license is a prerequisite for exercising these lien rights.
Subcontractor Lien Rights and Prime Contractor Licensing
If you are a subcontractor, your lien rights remain protected even if the prime contractor who hired you does not hold a license. The status of the prime contractor’s licensure does not impact your ability to file or enforce a mechanic’s lien under Florida law.
Deadline for Filing a Mechanic’s Lien
To preserve your lien rights, you must file a mechanic’s lien within 90 days of the last day you provided labor or materials to the job site. Missing this deadline may result in the forfeiture of your lien rights, so it is essential to monitor project timelines closely and act promptly to protect your interests.
