The Construction Lien Law is a mandatory statewide legislation which shall be enforced in every jurisdiction throughout the State.

1.  Applicants for a permit are required to provide information concerning the Owner, Mortgage lender and the Architect/Engineer.  In addition the application will have to have the Owner's notarized signature affixed.

2.  A certified copy of the recorded Notice of Commencement must be posted and maintained along with the permit from the start of the job through final inspection.  The State mandates that no inspections shall be approved without this notice being posted.  This requirement applies to all permitted work regardless of building valuation or funding (cash or credit) source.

 There are two (2) permit applications required, one being the application and the other being a supplemental form containing additional information and notarized signatures.

Please remember this is a mandatory State of Florida Law not a County requirement.
