Mechanics liens must be filed within 90 days of the last work performed or the last delivery of materials. The lien expires automatically after 1 year unless a lawsuit to enforce is filed.

What catches homeowners out in Florida
Florida requires contractors to be either state-licensed (certified) or county-licensed (registered) depending on their trade. A "Certified Contractor" can work anywhere in Florida, while a "Registered Contractor" can only work in the counties where they hold a license. Verify both the license type and status at myfloridalicense.com. For hurricane-prone areas, only contractors with the appropriate building code training should be hired for structural, roofing, or window installation work. Florida also requires contractors to include their license number on all contracts and advertisements.
