A local government issues a separate temporary electrical service permit before the main improvement notice paperwork is complete. What is the lien-law point to verify?

Correct Answer

B) Apply the temporary-utility exception but protect the main inspection requirement

Florida law allows limited preliminary permits or inspections without treating them as the main notice trigger.

Answer Options
A
Temporary service cancels every later notice-of-commencement obligation for the improvement
B
Apply the temporary-utility exception but protect the main inspection requirement
C
The electrical subcontractor becomes the owner for all recorded lien-law documents
D
The permit fee receipt replaces all building-code inspection approvals

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Florida law allows limited preliminary permits or inspections without treating them as the main notice trigger.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: Temporary service cancels every later notice-of-commencement obligation for the improvement

Temporary service cancels every later notice-of-commencement obligation for the improvement may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the temporary utility exception exposure being tested.

Option C: The electrical subcontractor becomes the owner for all recorded lien-law documents

The electrical subcontractor becomes the owner for all recorded lien-law documents may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the temporary utility exception exposure being tested.

Option D: The permit fee receipt replaces all building-code inspection approvals

The permit fee receipt replaces all building-code inspection approvals may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the temporary utility exception exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

Name the harm before the guard; temporary, service, cancels cannot stand in for Needs Temporary.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab Florida Statutes Chapter 713 to Section 713.135 temporary utility and preliminary site-work permits; confirm the required quantity, authority, timing, or record before selecting the answer.
