size=2 face=Arial> The failure to obtain a building permit (where the
scope required it) would be an action or omission subjecting the contractor to
administrative action against his contracting license pursuant to Ch. 489 and
doubtlessly local municipal or county codes as well. I am not aware of any
authority and don't believe that the failure to have a permit disqualifies
a contractor from recording and enforcing a lien. Many muncipalities place
the burden on the Owner to have a permit for the work and the Owner in your case
may have some exposure to the local building department for contracting work
without a permit.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

After the effective date of the Florida Building Code adopted as herein
provided, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, or
governmental entity to construct, erect, alter, modify, repair, or demolish any
building within this state without first obtaining a permit therefor from the
appropriate enforcing agency or from such persons as may, by appropriate
resolution or regulation of the authorized state or local enforcing agency, be
delegated authority to issue such permits, upon the payment of such reasonable
fees adopted by the enforcing agency. The enforcing agency is empowered to
revoke any such permit upon a determination by the agency that the construction,
erection, alteration, modification, repair, or demolition of the building for
which the permit was issued is in violation of, or not in conformity with, the
