Notice Of Commencement

NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT. This form is used in the state of Florida to announce the beginning of construction or improvements on a property. This notice, required under Chapter 713 of the Florida Statutes, must be recorded before any work begins or the first inspection occurs. The form provides detailed information about the project, including the property’s legal description and street address, the nature of the improvements, and the names and contact details of key parties involved—such as the property owner, contractor, surety (if a bond is posted), and lender. It also includes the names of individuals designated to receive legal notices related to liens and the expiration date of the notice itself. The document serves a critical purpose in Florida’s lien law system: it protects the rights of contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers to file a lien if they are not paid for their work. It also warns property owners that payments made after the expiration of the notice may be deemed improper, potentially resulting in double payment. www.FormsWorkflow.com
