The default enforcement path adds 365 calendar days; check a span that crosses a leap year yourself. Special roles, affidavits, fabricated materials, terminations, show-cause paths and other Ch. 713 facts are not modeled.

Three steps, and a lawyer at the end.

Your part

Enter the job facts

The dates are the ones your team typed in. They are never shown as a clerk record or proof of service.

The worksheet

Read the four deadlines

Only the Ch. 713 paths your facts support are shown, with the rule citation beside each date. A step closes only when you enter the date that closes it: the served date for a Notice to Owner or for serving the owner, the recorded date for a Claim of Lien. Nothing checks a lien deadline off in one tap.

Counsel

Your attorney signs off

Your Florida construction attorney reviews the worksheet before anyone acts on a date.

Keep the dates where your attorney can check them.

Enter the job's dates and read the four candidate deadlines, each with its statute. It is preparation, not a legal result.
