A critical defense is that the lien is fraudulent, which may arise if the lien amount is intentionally inflated or includes amounts for work not performed or that are not considered lienable under Floridas Construction Lien Law. Florida law strictly enforces the accuracy of lien amounts.
To attach a lien, the creditor must record the judgment with the county recorder in any Florida county where the debtor owns real estate now or may own real estate in future. For liens on personal property, the creditor files the judgment with the Florida Department of State.
In Florida, the deadline to file a mechanics lien is 90 days from last furnishing labor or materials to the project. The claimant must serve a copy of the lien on the property owner within 15 days after filing the lien.
After filing the Notice to Owner, the official lien is to be filed within 90 days of the final furnishings of service or 90 days from the termination of the contract between the general contractor and the owner, whichever comes first.
Prior to filing a lien, a lienor who does not have a direct contract with the owner, must serve the owner with a Notice to Owner. The Notice to Owner must state the lienors name and address, and a description of the real property and the nature of the services or materials being furnished.
