Definition: A statutory claim against improved property for qualifying unpaid labor, services, or materials, subject to Florida's construction-lien requirements.
Example
A qualifying contractor records a claim of lien for unpaid work after meeting the applicable statutory requirements.
Keep the distinction clear
A lien does not arise merely because someone sends an invoice. Eligibility, notice, recording, deadlines, and defenses depend on the claimant and circumstances.
