Transfer of Lien to Bond

If you wish to transfer a lien to bond, you must provide a recorded copy of the Claim of Lien being bonded together with a cashier's check pursuant to Chapter 713 of the Florida Statutes. Fees for the amount of the bond are calculated in the following manner: the amount of the claim of lien, plus interest at the legal rate for a 3-year period, plus $1,000.00 or 25% of the lien amount, whichever is greater.

In addition to the cash bond, a check is required for the recording and notification fees. Contact our office for the total amount due.

If you are bonding out with a surety bond and not a cash bond, please allow an additional $8.50 for the approval of the bond by the Deputy Clerk.

If the transaction involves the transfer of multiple liens, an additional charge of $10.00 for each additional lien shall be charged. Any number of liens may be transferred to one such security.
