Answer Options
A
record claim of lien
B
serve now
C
request final affidavit
D
release retainage

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Florida's construction lien notice-to-owner rule uses a 45-day outside period from first furnishing, subject to statutory conditions.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: record claim of lien

record claim of lien skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for notice to owner timing.

Option C: request final affidavit

request final affidavit skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for notice to owner timing.

Option D: release retainage

release retainage skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for notice to owner timing.

Memory Technique

Florida'S before dollars; construction before balance in Supplier'S Office.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab Florida Statutes Chapter 713 to Section 713.06, Notice to Owner timing; confirm the Florida statutory or Department of Revenue rule before answering.
