Protecting Your Right to Get Paid: NOIs, Liens & Compliance in Florida's Construction Industry


In the fast‐paced world of construction and supply, protecting your right to payment is not just important—it's essential. For businesses operating in Florida, navigating the state's lien laws can be complex, time‐sensitive, and unforgiving. That's where Nationwide Notice comes in.

With over 25 years of experience in the lien and notice industry, we've helped thousands of contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and property managers stay in compliance and protect their financial interests. Our new platform makes it easier than ever to manage and send Notices of Intent (NOIs), Notices to Owner (NTOs), and file construction liens—all while ensuring you meet Florida's strict statutory deadlines.

Why Florida Compliance Matters

Florida's construction lien laws are highly specific. If you're providing materials, labor, or services on a construction project, you may have the right to file a lien if you're not paid—but only if you follow the rules.

For example:

• Notices to Owner (NTOs) must be sent within 45 days of first furnishing labor or materials.
A Claim of Lien must be recorded within 90 days from the last day of work or delivery.
Once a lien is filed, a copy must be served to all parties involved—correctly and promptly.

Even one missed deadline, incomplete form, or improper delivery can invalidate your lien rights. That's why working with a trusted partner who knows the ins and outs of Florida lien law is critical.
