Orange County, Florida — Notice of Commencement

Orange County (Orlando) is one of Florida's highest-volume jurisdictions for Notice of Commencement filings, with hospitality, residential, and theme-park-related construction. Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 713.13) requires a recorded Notice of Commencement for most direct contracts over $2,500 — recorded with the Orange County Clerk of the Circuit Court in Orlando, and posted on the jobsite before the first inspection.
