A Florida Notice of Commencement is a legal document that is filed with the county clerk’s office to inform the public that a construction project is beginning. It is typically filed by the contractor or owner of the project, and serves as a public record of the start of construction. It also provides a lien deadline for unpaid subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers on the project. There are two types of Florida Notice of Commencement: an Owner's Notice of Commencement and a Contractor's Notice of Commencement. An Owner's Notice of Commencement is filed by the owner of the project and includes information such as the name of the owner, the project address, a description of the project, the lien deadline, and the names of the contractor and other involved parties. A Contractor's Notice of Commencement is filed by the contractor and includes information such as the name of the contractor, the project address, a description of the project, the lien deadline, and the name of the owner. Both types of Notice of Commencement are important documents, as they provide lien protection for all involved parties and serve as a public record of the start of construction.
