[RPPTL-constructionlaw] 713.10 lien for private leaseholdon public land

Thu Feb 2 13:52:44 PST 2012

People. People.  Let us not forget what day it is.  It is Groundhog's
Day!!  500 or so of my closest friends are on their way to a little
party I throw every year.  So, I say let's suspend the emails about lien
rights until tomorrow and instead think about "the meaning of the
season" - a furry marmot and pounding drinks.  Happy GHD!!!   Arnie.

The answer is in the definitions in 713.01 (and if you are referring to
8:3 of my book, it is set out there).  The statutory reason that you
can't lien publicly owned property is because a governmental owner is
not within the definition of owner in 713.01.  The definition of real
property also excludes governmentally owned property.  This is intended
to keep governmentally owned property out of the lien law because a
government must usually go through an election to subject public owned
property to liens, e.g., financing bond issues.  

An owner is also defined as one having an interest in the property and
who enters into a contract for the improvement of the real property.
Thus there is no reason that you cannot have a lien on a private
leasehold interest that sits on public property.  You want to be careful
when you prepare the lien to only seek it against the leasehold.  Also a
lien on a leasehold is typically only as valuable as the tenant is
collectable.  

Go get em.

Subject: [RPPTL-constructionlaw] 713.10 lien for private leasehold on
public land

Does anyone have any authority for a construction lien on a leasehold
where the lessee is a private party but the lessor is a municipality
(i.e. on public land)?  The lessee contracted for the improvements which
were required by the lease agreement.  The only authority I have found
is Section 8.3 of the Fla. Prac. Construction Law Manual which states in
the first paragraph, in part: "However, there may be private leasehold
interests on governmental property that are lienable."   I have found no
other authority.
