Why Are Notices to Owners (NTOs) Important?
• NTOs are legal documents that protect your rights under the Florida Construction Lien Laws. The document is sent to the owner, contractor, lender and others. If you provide labor and/or materials, it ensures that you are paid before the last payment is made to the contractor.
• The NTO must be served no later than 45 days from your first day on the job providing services or materials. If you do not serve the NTO in that time, you lose your ability to put a lien on the property if you are not paid in full.
• Bottom line, the NTO is important because it protects your rights to get paid.
