The proposed revisions to 713.13, Florida Statute, would require the DBPR to provide a uniform notice of commencement and require an owner or the owner’s agent to use this form to comply with Florida’s notice of commencement requirements.
Proposed Senate Bill 562 adds the following language to 713.13, Florida Statutes:
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation shall furnish for distribution a uniform notice of commencement must be in substantially the following form, and an owner or an owner’s authorized agent must use such uniform notice of commencement for the purposes of this subsection:
What follows that is the notice of commencement form that has been in the statute for years. If this revision holds, then contractors will need to use a DBPR provided/approved form for their notices of commencement.
