<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F497D">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.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F497D">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.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.</p>
