In this episode of "Permit Pro Tips", we are going to discuss Notice of Commencement Florida Recording Tips.
In accordance with Section 713.13 of the Florida Statutes, a Notice of Commencement, or NOC is required for the construction of, improvements to, alteration of, or repair of real property that construction value is over $2,500. The Notice of Commencement must be recorded with that county’s office of the clerk where the real property is located.
This form must be signed and notarized by the owner or tenant on the property depending on who is paying for the construction work. In South Florida, most of the Notice of Commencements have 2 places on the form for the owner’s signature. The original filled out document is then taken to that county’s office of the clerk to have recorded. It is advised to also request a certificated copy for your records. For most cities in Miami Dade county, the recorded Notice of Commencement is required to be on the jobsite for the first inspection. For most cities in Broward, and Palm Beach counties, the recorded Notice of Commencement is required to be turned in to the building department before the permit is issued.
The Notice of Commencement document protects the owner from double payment to the contractor, subcontractors and any material suppliers on the project. It also protects the contractor, subcontractors, and suppliers that in the event that they do not receive payment for their services they can record a lien on the property. The Notice of Commencement is effective for 1 year from date of recording unless a different expiration date is specified. If a project is going to last longer than a year, a more realistic expiration date should be specified.
Other important construction recordings include “Notice of Termination” and “Release of Lien”. Please see our videos with the title "What is Notice of Termination?” and “What is Release of Lien?” for these recording tips.
