Put the steps in the order Chapter 713 contemplates for a subcontractor not in privity with the owner.

Correct Answer

C) Notice of commencement recorded, notice to owner served, claim of lien recorded, enforcement action filed

The owner records the notice of commencement before work starts, under s. 713.13(1)(a). The subcontractor then serves its notice to owner within 45 days of first furnishing, under s. 713.06(2)(a) — which is why the recorded notice matters to it, since that is where the owner and lender addresses come from. A claim of lien follows within 90 days of final furnishing under s. 713.08(5), and an enforcement action within one year of recording under s. 713.22(1).

Notice to owner served, notice of commencement recorded, claim of lien recorded, enforcement action filed

C
Notice of commencement recorded, notice to owner served, claim of lien recorded, enforcement action filed
