PERHAPS YOU ARE ASKING THESE QUESTIONS.....WHAT IS A NOTICE <br />To OWNER, AND WHY WAS I SENT THIS DOCUMENT? THOSE ARE BOTH GOOD <br />QUESTIONS. THIS SHORT SUMMARY WILL ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THEM. <br /> <br />FLORIDA LAW REQUIRES THAT ANYONE WHO SUPPLIES LABOR, SERVICES OR <br />MATERIAL TO YOUR CONTRACTOR ON YOUR CONSTRUCTION JOB MUST SEND YOU A <br />NOTICE To OWNER. THE NOTICE To OWNER IS NOT A LIEN ON YOUR PROPERTY. <br />IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOUR CONTRACTOR HAS FAILED TO PAY THE COMPANY <br />WHO HAS GIVEN THIS NOTICE. IT MERELY INFORMS YOU THAT THE COMPANY <br />IDENTIFIED IN THE NOTICE To OWNER IS ON YOUR JOB AND GIVES YOU A GENERAL <br />DESCRIPTION OF THE TYPE OF MATERIALS THEY ARE SUPPLYING OR THE TYPE OF <br />WORK THAT THEY WILL BE PERFORMING. <br /> <br />BEFORE PAYING YOUR CONTRACTOR, YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT THE <br />PERSON WHO HAS GIVEN THIS NOTICE To OWNER HAS BEEN PAID BY THE <br />CONTRACTOR. You DO THIS BY GETTING A LIEN WAIVER FROM THE PERSON <br />IDENTIFIED IN THE NOTICE To OWNER (LIENOR'S NAME AND ADDRESS). <br /> <br />IF YOU HAVE A CONSTRUCTION LENDER AND THE LENDER is PAYING THE <br />CONTRACTOR DIRECTLY, THE LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THE <br />NECESSARY LIEN WAIVERS. You MAY WISH TO CHECK WITH YOUR LENDER TO <br />VERIFY THAT THEY WILL BE MANAGING THESE DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH <br />EACH PAYMENT TO THE CONTRACTOR. <br /> <br />THIS IS A VERY GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OWNER'S OBLIGATIONS <br />UNDER THE CONSTRUCTION LIEN LAW. IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO YOUR RIGHTS <br />OR DUTIES UNDER THE LIEN LAW, YOU SHOULD CONSULT AN ATTORNEY. <br />
