Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Statute of limitations on liens in Fla.

Is there a statute of limitations with respect to time on liens? And is there a specific process that one follows to lien a property?

Yes to both questions. You mention filing a lien against property, but you do not describe the type of lien. If it is lien for work done on the property or supplies used in developing the property, then the procedure is described in chapter 713 of the Fla. Statutes. If, however, it is a judgment lien, then the procedure is described in chapter 55 of the Florida Statutes.

It is difficult to answer your question without more information. I hope this information helps you.
