If the work you did was in the nature of construction, you can file a lien under the Florida Mechanics Lien laws. Their are strict deadlines for filing and if you miss a deadline, you are prohibited from availaing yourself of the statute. You should consult an attorney who can advise you of your legal rights and obligations.

Re: Lien on commercial property

If the work you did was some type of construction, you can proceed under the construction lien statutes filing a claim of lien on the property for services rendered. Are you a general contractor or a sub?
