Pompano Beach: When Do You Need a Notice of Commencement for Construction Projects?

Pompano Beach property owners undertaking construction, improvements, alterations, or repairs must understand the requirements for a Notice of Commencement (NOC). This legal document is crucial for protecting property rights and ensuring proper project oversight in Broward County.

A Notice of Commencement is mandated for projects where the total contract price exceeds $5,000.00. This requirement aligns with Section 713.13 of the Florida Statutes.

Property owners must record the NOC with the Broward County Records, Taxes and Treasury Division. Alternatively, recording the NOC with the office of the clerk in the county where the real property is located also fulfills the requirement. After recording, a copy of the NOC must be submitted.

This process ensures transparency and provides a public record of the project, which helps protect all parties involved in the construction process.

Residents planning any significant property work should consult Section 713.13 of the Florida Statutes or contact the Broward County Records, Taxes and Treasury Division for further guidance before starting their projects.
