A Notice of Commencement is an "NOC". The State of Florida requires notice as per Section 713.13 in the Florida Statutes that improvement will be commenced within 30 days after it is recorded. The "NOC" must be submitted as an original document, signed and notarized by the property owner.
Florida's Construction Lien Law (Sections 713.001-713.37) requires the recording of a Notice of Commencement (NOC) for real property improvements greater than $5,000. However, the NOC does not apply to the repair or replacement of an existing heating or air conditioning system less than $15,000 in value.
