An Ocala lienor last furnished materials 104 days ago and has served a valid notice to owner. What is its position on recording a claim of lien?
Correct Answer
D) The recording period has expired; it closed at 90 days after final furnishing
Section 713.08(5) fixes the outside date at "not later than 90 days after the final furnishing of the labor or services or materials by the lienor", and day 104 is past it. The clock runs from furnishing, not from invoicing, and the chapter provides no tolling for a dispute. A timely notice to owner preserves the right to record; it does not extend the period to do so.
