How long do you have to file a lien in Florida?

Record a claim of lien within 90 days after the last day you furnish labor or materials, and serve it on the owner within 15 days of recording.

Statute: Fla. Stat. § 713.08

Notice deadlines before the lien, and the lawsuit deadline after it, are on the Florida page. Those dates depend on who hired you and the kind of property.

Florida Notice to Owner deadline: 45 days

This answer is the Florida rule only. Lien deadlines are different in every state.

This is general information, not legal advice. Rules change. Check the current statute or ask a construction attorney in that state before you rely on a date. Job Clock does not file liens, mail notices, pull permits, or give legal advice.
