What to Do If You Receive a Notice of Contest in Florida

Confused construction worker holding a Notice of Contest of Lien with a 60-day deadline on a construction site

In Florida, a construction lien is a powerful tool for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to secure payment. However, receiving a Notice of Contest of Lien can significantly alter your ability to enforce that lien. This legal document, filed by a property owner, reduces the time you have to act from one year to just 60 days. Failing to respond appropriately can result in the automatic loss of your lien rights.
