A Florida Claim of Lien is a legal document used to secure payment for a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier for labor or materials provided in the construction of a project in Florida. The lien is placed on the property, and if the owner or contractor fails to pay, the lien holder can take legal action and foreclose on the property. There are two types of Florida Claim of Lien: a material man's lien and a contractor's lien. A material man's lien is for those providing material to a construction site, and a contractor's lien is for those performing labor. The lien must be filed with the Clerk of Court within 90 days of the completion of labor or delivery of materials, and must provide a detailed description of the work performed, materials provided, and the amount of money owed.
