We are a water mitigation company working Hurricane Ian. What are the proper steps from start to finish for notice/lien filing in Florida? We are working directly with the homeowner in most cases, or with the property manager/HOA rep in a few. Is a Notice to Owner required? If not, is there any other notice that needs to be sent out? We want to make sure we are doing the initial filings correctly so there is no issue if we have to file liens later down the line.
If you are working directly for the property owner, you do not need to send a notice to owner. If you are contracting with an HOA to do work on homeowners’ properties, send a notice to owner to the owner of each property you’re working on. Use a Notice Service such as Sunray. They know exactly how to do this.
Also, make sure all your contracts are in writing and signed by the homeowner.
