Notice to Owner Filing for Citrus County

Under Florida Statute 713.06, any subcontractor, sub-subcontractor, or material supplier who does not have a direct contract with the property owner must file a Notice to Owner to preserve their lien rights on a Citrus construction project. If you were hired by the general contractor or another subcontractor rather than the property owner directly, you need to file an NTO.

You must serve your Notice to Owner within 45 days of first furnishing labor, services, or materials to a Citrus construction project. This 45-day window is set by Florida Statute 713.06 and applies statewide. Missing this deadline means losing your lien rights on that project, so it is important to file as early as possible after starting work.

SimpleNTO charges a flat $59 per filing for Citrus projects. That single fee covers document preparation, USPS Certified Mail delivery to all required recipients (property owner, general contractor, and any other required parties), tracking numbers, and delivery confirmation. No subscriptions, no per-recipient charges, no hidden costs.

If you are unsure who owns the property where you are working in Citrus, SimpleNTO can help. Property owner information for Citrus projects can typically be found through the Citrus County Property Appraiser's office. If you need assistance identifying the correct property owner, our team can look it up for you as part of the filing process.
