What must happen to a copy of the s. 713.23 payment bond when the notice of commencement is recorded?

Correct Answer

C) It must be attached to the notice of commencement as recorded

Section 713.23(1)(a) requires that "a copy of the bond shall be attached to the notice of commencement when the notice of commencement is recorded." Attaching it to the recorded notice is what puts the world on notice that the job is bonded, which is the point — a lienor checking the recorded notice learns at once that it must look to the bond rather than to the land.
