There is NO ambiguity. I previously prevailed for a roofing supplier on this same issue when a Notice to Owner was mailed on the 45th day and subsequently refused by the homeowner. Thereafter it was appealed to the 5DCA and resulted in a PCA. Sincerely, Barry Kalmanson500 N Maitland AvenueSuite 305 Maitland, Fl. 32751407-645-4500 x 215 www.barrykalmanson.com  -----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: [CLC-Discussion] Quick Question Regarding F.S. 713.18 Adam, For the“refused,” “moved, not forwardable,” or “unclaimed” exception to the delivery  requirement to apply the NTO had to be mailed within 40 days of the start date and the return has to be “through no fault of the person serving the item”.   You would have to make sure that these were satisfied.   Thank you, Jack

Subject: [CLC-Discussion] Quick Question Regarding F.S. 713.18   Quick question regarding service under F.S. 713.18:   Last week we had a judge rule on summary judgment that a Notice to Owner which was mailed via certified mail to the address listed in the Notice of Commencement and which was returned as “undeliverable” was ineffective and that the subcontractor was then required to try to either obtain personal service or post the NTO on site for there to be effective service.  Based upon a plain reading of the statute I think the judge erred, but there is a dearth of cases on this issue.  Any suggestions are appreciated.   Thanks, Adam   Adam C.
