What is a Notice to Owner (NTO)?
A Notice to Owner (NTO) is a legal document required under Florida Statute ยง713.06.
It notifies the property owner that you are providing labor or materials to their project.
Without it, subcontractors and suppliers cannot file a valid construction lien in Florida if they aren't paid.
What happens if I miss the 45-day deadline?
If you miss the 45-day window from your first day of furnishing labor or materials,
you permanently lose your right to file a mechanics lien on that project.
This means your only recourse if you aren't paid is a breach of contract lawsuit,
which is slower and more expensive than enforcing a lien.
How does AI Filings prepare my NTO?
You forward or text us the job details โ a contract, PO, or even a simple message.
Our AI reads the document, extracts the project address, owner information, and your company details,
looks up the Florida property owner on public records, calculates your 45-day deadline,
and prepares a state-compliant NTO form โ ready to mail.
How does the certified mail process work?
We typically mail your Notice to Owner within 2 business days of receiving your filing. In most cases it goes out the same day or next business day. Once your NTO is prepared and approved, AI Filings prints and mails it via USPS certified mail. You receive a USPS tracking number by email.
When the recipient signs for the letter, you receive Proof of Delivery (POD).
If you have a portal account, we store your Proof of Delivery securely in your account.
If you filed without an account, we send it to you by email.
Is AI Filings a law firm?
No. AI Filings is a document preparation service, not a law firm.
We help you prepare and mail your Notices to Owner under Florida ยง713.06,
but we do not provide legal advice or represent you in any legal proceeding.
For legal questions specific to your situation, please consult a licensed Florida attorney.
