What does FCLL mean in CONSTRUCTION

The law applies to all types of improvements to real property including buildings, fixtures, and landscaping. It covers both residential and commercial properties.

Under the law, any person who has provided labor on or furnished material towards an improvement on property can place a lien against that property if they have not been paid for their services. This includes contractors, subcontractors, laborers, material suppliers, engineers etc.

Yes. In order for your lien rights to be preserved you must record a Claim of Lien within 90 days from when you last performed work or furnished materials toward the improvement.

You must file your claim with the Clerk of Court in County where the property is located. The clerk will charge you a fee and record your documents in official records. You may also have to serve upon any interested parties such as owner or contractor.

Yes, once you record your claim you are obligated under section 713.20(2) Fla Statute to file suit on your Claim within 1 year from the date it was recorded otherwise your lien will become void and unenforceable.

Your filing fee will depend on how many pages require recording but it usually ranges between $10-$50 per page depending on county in which filing is occurring.

If you fail to timely file your Claim then its very likely that no valid lien was ever created because failure to abide with statutory time limits voids all liens created by statute.

Generally speaking general contractor liens are created after they finish their contractual obligation while subcontractors' liens attach immediately upon rendering services or goods but remain enforceable only if claimant proves his entitlement before title vests in purchaser.
