FL S0510

Requires contractors to provide owners with a standardized "Statement of Owner's Rights and Responsibilities Under Florida's Construction Lien Law" instead of including notice only in the direct contract; statement must be signed by owner and submitted with building permit application.

Establishes mandatory four-step process for owners to protect themselves: recording Notice of Commencement, monitoring documents received, obtaining signed lien waivers with each payment, and obtaining Contractor's Final Payment Affidavit before final payment.

Makes building permit application processing contingent on filing the signed owner's rights statement; permits cannot be processed without this document on file.

Removes warning language from Notice of Commencement form and replaces it with educational content about construction lien law protections and owner responsibilities.

Removes requirement that building permit authorities distribute a separate printed statement about construction lien law; consolidates all owner education into the single standardized statement provided by contractor.
