Contesting a Mechanic's Lien in Florida
Under Florida law, filing a statutory Notice of Contest of Lien can defend property against a lien. See 713.22 Fla. Stat (2016).
A mechanic's lien, when filed against property, is valid for one year after the recording date. ( 713.22(1)). The lienor can extend that time past one year by filing a lawsuit to enforce the lien prior to its expiration. When a lien is recorded, however, a property owner may file a Notice of Contest of Lien within the one-year period to dispute the lien's validity. This Notice includes the lienor's name and address, details about the recorded lien, the owner's name, and the signing date. It should also meet all state and local formatting requirements for documents submitted for recording.
Once the notice is recorded, the clerk serves it on the lienor at the address in the lien, putting the lienor on notice that he or she must file a lawsuit to enforce the lien within 60 days. This can shorten the enforceability period because once the lienor receives the Notice of Contest of Lien. If the lienor fails to file a lawsuit within the shortened timeframe, it renders the lien invalid.
Each case is unique, so contact an attorney for more information about contesting a lien or other questions about Florida's Construction Lien Law.

The whole process of paying and receiving a PDF re-usable form was user friendly and the items that came with the purchase;the directions about filling out the form ect., were a fantastic addition for the price of the document. Happy customer!

The process for obtaining document itself was easy, and the included guide and example are great! I do have an issue with the format itself, though. The form has pre-defined text boxes, which cannot be altered without partially rebuilding the entire document. For the 'property description' field on the Mineral Deed form, the text box is not large enough for the rather lengthy legal description entered on my original plat. Fortunately, I have a copy of Adobe Pro, so I have been able to re-build the doc to accommodate this short-coming.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on our legal form. We're pleased to hear that you found the process for obtaining the document and the included guide beneficial.
We understand and appreciate your concern regarding the formatting and size limitations of certain fields, especially the 'property description' field. Our forms are designed to adhere to specific formatting requirements that are often mandated for legal compliance. Making direct alterations to the document can result in them becoming non-conforming, which is why we advise customers to use an exhibit page when their legal description is extensive or does not fit.
