No notice of commencement was ever recorded for a private job. When does a lienor's lien take priority?

Correct Answer

B) At the time the claim of lien is finally recorded

Section 713.07(2) supplies the fallback: where no notice of commencement is filed, liens under ss. 713.05 and 713.06 attach and take priority as of the time the claim of lien is recorded. That is normally much later, and therefore behind mortgages recorded in the meantime.
