Notice to Owner Form
(Consult an attorney before using this form or information)
WARNING!
FLORIDA'S CONSTRUCTION LIEN LAW ALLOWS SOME UNPAID CONTRACTORS,
SUBCONTRACTORS, AND MATERIAL SUPPLIERS TO FILE LIENS AGAINST YOUR
PROPERTY EVEN IF YOU HAVE MADE PAYMENT IN FULL.
UNDER FLORIDA LAW, YOUR FAILURE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PAID MAY RESULT
IN A LIEN AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY AND YOUR PAYING TWICE.
TO AVOID A LIEN AND PAYING TWICE, YOU MUST OBTAIN A WRITTEN RELEASE FROM
US EVERY TIME YOU PAY YOUR CONTRACTOR.
NOTICE TO OWNER

The undersigned hereby informs you that he or she has furnished or is furnishing services or materials
as follows:
(General description of services or materials) for the improvement of the real property identified as
(property description) under an order given by_______________.
Florida law prescribes the serving of this notice and restricts your right to make payments under your
contract in accordance with Section 713.06, Florida Statutes.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR PROTECTION
Under Florida's laws, those who work on your property or provide materials and are not paid have a
right to enforce their claim for payment against your property. This claim is known as a construction
lien.
If your contractor fails to pay subcontractors or material suppliers or neglects to make other legally
required payments, the people who are owed money may look to your property for payment, EVEN IF
YOU HAVE PAID YOUR CONTRACTOR IN FULL.
PROTECT YOURSELF:
--RECOGNIZE that this Notice to Owner may result in a lien against your property unless all those
supplying a Notice to Owner have been paid.
--LEARN more about the Construction Lien Law, Chapter 713, Part I, Florida Statutes, and the
meaning of this notice by contacting an attorney or the Florida Department of Business and Professional
Regulation.
