This course covers Chapter 713 Part I of the Florida Statutes which addresses Construction Liens. We have prepared it with contractors, laborers, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, and materialmen in mind to familiarize you with the core concepts in this Chapter. Our goal is to increase your understanding of the terms and concepts used in Chapter 713 so you are familiar with them when reviewing the text of the statutes for yourself or conferring with your own counsel on Construction Liens. We will review key portions of Chapter 713 and elaborate on them with explanatory notes and commentary. For the full text of each statute please refer to the Florida Statutes. These can be found at: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/ Because this is an evolving law, you should consult legal counsel with any questions you may have.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Name the types of lienors
• Locate the mandatory provisions for contracts
• Identify which contracts are subject to the Construction Lien law
• Describe how to perfect a lien
