Claim of Lien

When you need to file a Claim of Lien, we will provide you an updated title search of the property to verify the legal description and the name of the current owner. We will assist you in preparing your Claim of Lien based on the updated title information and the information you provide us. Once prepared, we hand-deliver your Claim of Lien to the courthouse for recording. After your Claim of Lien has been recorded, we prepare and send the statutory notices to the appropriate parties apprising them you have recorded your Claim of Lien against the subject property. Fees are 1.5% of the face amount of your Claim of Lien - $75 minimum, $300 maximum, plus costs (recording fees, courier charges and postage fees).

What is a Claim of Lien?

Under Florida's Lien Law, an owner may be liable for payment if the contractor fails to pay his/her suppliers and subcontractors. That means that an owner may have to pay twice for the same work. A Claim of Lien is a validly recorded claim against the property for payment of the unpaid balance due. If the lienor successfully forecloses on the property, the property will be sold by judicial sale, and the lienor will be paid from the proceeds of sale. The filing of a Claim of Lien is specifically authorized by Florida Statute § 713.08.
