I would highly recommend Sunshine Notices to any Contractor or Subcontractor out there. Their online platform is very user friendly and their support is second to none. Any questions I may have about lien laws they are happy to answer and they are consistently available to help. Of all the Notice companies I have worked with in the past decade, I would not recommend anyone other than Sunshine Notices.

Frequently Asked Questions About Florida Construction Notices

Still have questions about protecting your payment rights?

Who needs to serve a Notice to Owner in Florida?

Many subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, and material suppliers who are not working directly for the property owner must serve a Notice to Owner to preserve their lien rights. Requirements depend on your role and the project structure, so it is important to identify the correct parties early. Florida Statute 713.06 outlines the Notice to Owner requirements for lienors who are not in direct contract with the owner.

A Notice to Owner generally must be served before beginning work or within 45 days after first furnishing labor, services, or materials. Because delivery and mailing rules matter, Sunshine Notices recommends submitting project information well before the deadline.

A contractor or other party working in direct contract with the property owner generally does not need a Notice to Owner to preserve lien rights. However, sending one may still help establish clear communication and make future payment conversations easier. *project structures can very so this is a general statement* Sunshine Notices recommends filing on every project.

Missing the deadline may affect your ability to record an enforceable Claim of Lien. However, you may still have other payment options, such as a demand letter or direct collection efforts. Contact Sunshine Notices promptly so the available options can be reviewed.

A Florida Claim of Lien generally must be recorded no later than 90 days after the claimant’s final furnishing of labor, services, or materials. The calculation can depend on the specific facts of the job, and corrective or punch-list work may not necessarily extend the deadline.

We typically need information about your company, your customer, the job location, the type of labor or materials being furnished, and your first day on the project. Our research team then verifies ownership, reviews available Notices of Commencement, and identifies the appropriate recipients.

Yes. Sunshine Notices provides construction notice services for projects throughout all 67 Florida counties. Electronic recording is available in participating counties, while other filing and delivery methods may be used where electronic recording is unavailable.

No. Sunshine Notices is a construction notice service company and is not a law firm. We prepare and process construction notices and related documents, but we do not provide legal advice or represent clients in legal disputes. Questions involving contested liens, contract disputes, or litigation should be directed to a qualified Florida construction attorney.
