A Florida Claim of Lien is a legal document used in the state of Florida to establish a lien against a piece of property owned by another party. A lien is a legal right that allows someone to claim and collect payment from the owner of the property. In Florida, the Claim of Lien must be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the property is located. There are two types of Florida Claim of Lien: a Material man's Lien and a Mechanic's Lien. A Material man's Lien is used by a supplier of materials used in construction, such as lumber, concrete and steel. A Mechanic's Lien is used by those who provide labor or services for a construction project, such as contractors, subcontractors, and laborers. Both types of lien must include specific information, such as the name and address of the property owner, the name of the lien holder, the amount of the lien, and the reason for the lien. The lien must also be signed and notarized before it can be filed. Once the Claim of Lien is filed, the lien holder must notify the property owner of the lien.
