A direct contract exceeds $5,000 and the first inspection is approaching. What must be filed with the issuing authority before that inspection can be approved?
Correct Answer
D) File the required recorded notice copy or recording information
Florida lien law ties required notice-of-commencement documentation to inspections for covered direct contracts.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Florida lien law ties required notice-of-commencement documentation to inspections for covered direct contracts.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: A final lien waiver from every material supplier before any work has been inspected
A final lien waiver from every material supplier before any work has been inspected skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for notice of commencement timing.
Option B: A subcontract bid tab showing the three lowest quotes for each trade
A subcontract bid tab showing the three lowest quotes for each trade skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for notice of commencement timing.
Option C: An owner's punch list signed after occupancy and final cleaning
An owner's punch list signed after occupancy and final cleaning skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for notice of commencement timing.
Memory Technique
When lien clashes with law, let the contract speak before Coordinates Permit.
Reference Hint
Open-book path: tab Florida Statutes Chapter 713 to Section 713.135 notice of commencement and building permits; confirm the required quantity, authority, timing, or record before selecting the answer.
