<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Note
the first sentence of 255.05(1)(a); the recent amendments creating existing
language requires private party to obtain bond(s) for work that private party
contracts for as improvement to public property or a Public Work . To
understand better the meaning of the amendment, do research on use of “public
work”; that wording is not limited to “ public property” or there would be no
disjunctive “or”. A very early case used “public work” as private property
of a railroad that would serve the public; that case did not deal with lien or
bond, but it illustrates how general “public work” means in current version of
statute. A more interesting issue is defining the remedy for
non-compliance against the public body or the private party that failed to
obtain bonds. In some past cases the commissioners or council members were
liable to person or entity that by law had right to rely upon existence of the
required bonds. Who was advising the public body; the private party. Does the
license or lease have an indemnity clause in favor of public entity? Have
fun.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Pickert and I had such a case many years ago, wherein the City of Coral Springs
entered into a renewable "Concession Agreement" (i.e., a lease) for a
private party to build an ice-skating rink on City property. Under the
Concession Agreement, the concessionaire/lessee actually owned the
improvements subject to the City's reversionary interest at the conclusion
of the lease. The concessionaire/lessee didn't pay the contractor
and, in fact, sold its interest during construction. The contractor, our
client, recorded a lien against the property, and both the concessionaire/lessee
and the purchaser said the property was not lienable. We moved for and
were granted summary judgment in our favor on that issue. Attached is the
motion/brief, which is a matter of public record and may be helpful.
Presumably much of the law has changed/evolved over the past 14 or so
years.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><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><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><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. </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in">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.<o:p></o:p></P>
