48.23 Lis pendens.
(1)(a) An action in any of the state or federal courts in this state operates as a lis pendens on any real or personal property involved therein or to be affected thereby only if a notice of lis pendens is recorded in the official records of the county where the property is located and such notice has not expired pursuant to subsection (2) or been withdrawn or discharged.
(b)1. An action that is filed for specific performance or that is not based on a duly recorded instrument has no effect, except as between the parties to the proceeding, on the title to, or on any lien upon, the real or personal property unless a notice of lis pendens has been recorded and has not expired or been withdrawn or discharged.
2. Any person acquiring for value an interest in, or lien upon, the real or personal property during the pendency of an action described in subparagraph 1., other than a party to the proceeding or the legal successor by operation of law, or personal representative, heir, or devisee of a deceased party to the proceeding, shall take such interest or lien exempt from all claims against the property that were filed in such action by the party who failed to record a notice of lis pendens or whose notice expired or was withdrawn or discharged, and from any judgment entered in the proceeding, notwithstanding the provisions of s. 695.01, as if such person had no actual or constructive notice of the proceeding or of the claims made therein or the documents forming the causes of action against the property in the proceeding.
(c)1. A notice of lis pendens must contain the following:
a. The names of the parties.
b. The date of the institution of the action, the date of the clerk’s electronic receipt, or the case number of the action.
c. The name of the court in which it is pending.
d. A description of the property involved or to be affected.
e. A statement of the relief sought as to the property.
2. In the case of any notice of lis pendens filed on the same date as the pleading upon which the notice is based, the clerk’s notation of the date of receipt on the notice shall satisfy the requirement that the notice contain the date of the institution of the action.
(d) Except for the interest of persons in possession or easements of use, the recording of such notice of lis pendens, provided that during the pendency of the proceeding it has not expired pursuant to subsection (2) or been withdrawn or discharged, constitutes a bar to the enforcement against the property described in the notice of all interests and liens, including, but not limited to, federal tax liens and levies, unrecorded at the time of recording the notice unless the holder of any such unrecorded interest or lien moves to intervene in such proceedings within 30 days after the recording of the notice and the court ultimately grants the motion. If the holder of any such unrecorded interest or lien does not intervene in the proceedings and if such proceedings are prosecuted to a judicial sale of the property described in the notice, the property shall be forever discharged from all such unrecorded interests and liens. A valid recorded notice of lis pendens of such proceedings prosecuted to a judicial sale remains in effect through the recording of any instrument transferring title to the property pursuant to the final judgment unless it expires, is withdrawn, or it is otherwise discharged. If the notice of lis pendens expires or is withdrawn or discharged, the expiration, withdrawal, or discharge of the notice does not affect the validity of any unrecorded interest or lien.
(2) A notice of lis pendens is not effectual for any purpose beyond 1 year from the commencement of the action and will expire at that time, unless the relief sought is disclosed by the pending pleading to be founded on a duly recorded instrument or on a lien claimed under part I of chapter 713 against the property involved, except when the court extends the time of expiration on reasonable notice and for good cause. The court may impose such terms for the extension of time as justice requires.
(3) When the pending pleading does not show that the action is founded on a duly recorded instrument or on a lien claimed under part I of chapter 713 or when the action no longer affects the subject property, the court shall control and discharge the recorded notice of lis pendens as the court would grant and dissolve injunctions.
(4) This section applies to all actions now or hereafter pending in any state or federal courts in this state, but the period of time specified in subsection (2) does not include the period of pendency of any action in an appellate court.

Med. Facilities Dev. v. Little Arch Creek, 675 So. 2d 915 (Fla. 1996).

Cited 26 times | Published | Supreme Court of Florida | 1996 WL 336079

...These cases are in conflict over the question of whether a lis-pendens bond is required or, if discretionary, what standard a trial court should use to determine if a bond is required, when a notice of lis pendens is not based upon a duly recorded instrument or a construction lien and is thus governed by section 48.23(3), Florida Statutes (1995). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. We resolve this conflict by holding that in situations governed by section 48.23(3), it is within the trial court's discretion to determine whether to require the lis-pendens proponent to post a bond when the property-holder defendant can show that damages will likely result to that defendant in the event the notice of lis pendens is unjustified....
...Thereafter, the trial court ordered Medical Facilities to post a $1 million bond. Medical Facilities posted the bond and filed a nonfinal appeal challenging Little Arch's entitlement to the bond as well as the amount of the bond. The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed. The court first turned to section 48.23(3), Florida Statutes (1993), which governs a notice of lis pendens when the initial pleading does not show that the action is founded upon a duly recorded instrument or construction lien. [1] This section permits the trial court to control and discharge the notice of lis pendens in the same manner that a court may grant and dissolve injunctions. See § 48.23(3)....
...While the term "lis pendens" literally implies a pending suit, it is defined as the jurisdiction, power, or control which courts acquire over property involved in a pending suit. See DePass v.

...he mortgage foreclosure proceedings initiated by First Horizon Home Loans, as successor-in-interest to First Horizon Home Loan Corporation (“First Horizon”). The trial court denied intervention, concluding Appellants’ motion was untimely under section 48.23(l)(b), Florida Statutes (2008). 1 Appellants contend that section 48.23(l)(b), a lis pendens statute allowing the holders of unrecorded property interests only twenty days from the recording date of the lis pendens to intervene in an action affecting property, unconstitutionally conflicts with Florida Rule...
...Appellants also sought to conduct discovery to determine whether First Horizon knew or should have known of their interests in the properties. First Horizon opposed Appellants’ motion, arguing Appellants were beyond the twenty-day window allowed for intervention established by section 48.23(1)(b). The trial court agreed and denied the motion to intervene. Appellants sought rehearing, arguing that section 48.23(l)(b) unconstitutionally conflicts with Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.230, which authorizes intervention “at any time.” More specifically, Appellants argued that section 48.23(l)(b) usurps the Florida Supreme Court’s rulemaking authority....

...s quo of interest in property and does not create substantive right). However, in Florida, the doctrine of lis pendens, although derived from the common law, is wholly statutory and includes matters well beyond simply maintaining the status quo. See § 48.23, Fla. Stat. (2008); see also Taylor, 944 So.2d at 497 ; Henry P. Trawick Jr., Trawick’s, Fla. Practice & Procedure § 8:31 (2007-2008 ed.). Of importance here, section 48.23(l)(b) bars holders of unrecorded interests in the property from enforcing their interests against the property if they do not intervene in pending litigation within twenty days of the filing and recording of the notice of lis pendens, provided that the property is later sold at a judicial sale....

We believe that section 48.23(l)(b) operates as a substantive nonclaim statute because it is a self-contained statute that automatically bars enforcement against the property by the holder of the unrecorded interest after the prescribed twenty-day period, provided that the litigation proceeds to final judgment and judicial sale....

...of Fla. v. 2275 West Corp., 905 So.2d 189 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005). Unlike a common-law notice of lis pendens, which is simply a procedural device designed to protect the status quo until a party’s substantive rights in an item of property can be determined, section 48.23(l)(b) affects the substantive property rights of unrecorded interest holders by barring their cause of action after the prescribed period and discharging their unrecorded liens and interests if they do not intervene within twenty days of the recording and the property is later sold at a judicial sale....

The essential idea behind section 48.23(3) is that if it was already clear to the public before the suit was filed that there was a cloud on the property being sued about, because of a recorded instrument showing an interest of the plaintiff, there was no reason to require a bond or otherwise to control or to discharge the lis pendens....

...Discussion As noted above, the issue in this case is whether the plaintiffs' interest in the Lisa Lane property is superior to the government's interest.

The Plaintiffs' Claim Under Florida Law The lis pendens statute on which the plaintiffs rely is codified at section 48.23 of the Florida Statutes.

...Murray, 963 F.Supp. 52, 55 (D.Mass.1997). Therefore, in determining the priority of the competing liens in this case, the Court must treat the government's lien as a tax liability assessed under the tax code. With this fact in mind, Florida's lis pendens statute, section 48.23(b), specifically states that federal tax liens are barred if the government does not comply with the *1352 statute's intervention requirements. Section 48.23(b), Fla. Stat. (1999). Despite section 48.23(b)'s plain language, however, the United States Supreme Court has held that only choate state-created liens take priority over federal tax liens....
...Thus, any lien that they may have on the Lisa Lane property was perfected at the earliest on April 20, 1999, fourteen days after the government recorded its perfected lien.

...Lantana Boatyard, 402 So.2d 507, 511 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981)). We find no error in the trial court's rulings and affirm. In the second consolidated appeal, the purchaser argues he is entitled to attorney's fees under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.410 as a sanction, and under section 48.23, Florida Statutes (2009). We agree with the purchaser that the trial court should have awarded fees under section 48.23. We do not reach the issue of whether the fees were properly imposed as a sanction because we hold that section 48.23 authorizes an award of attorney's fees under the circumstances presented here. In S & T Builders v. Globe Properties, Inc., 944 So.2d 302 (Fla.2006), our *139 supreme court held an "award of attorney's fees incurred in discharging a lis pendens is statutorily authorized" under section 48.23(3), Florida Statutes....

...Subsequently, the Lender’s successor obtained a final judgment of foreclosure. 2 After the mortgage foreclosure concluded, Jallali filed a motion under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540(b)(4) to vacate the Association’s 2012 final judgment of foreclosure. Jallali relied on Quadomain, 103 So. 3d at 978-80, and section 48.23, Florida Statutes (2012)....
...Because the Declaration of Covenants, which included provisions with respect to the Association’s right to lien and foreclose on the property, was a recorded “interest” at the time of the filing of lis pendens, we conclude that, even though the lien was inferior to the mortgage, section 48.23, Florida Statutes, constitutes no bar to the enforcement of the lien between the Association and Jallali. A lis pendens serves two main purposes: (1) to give notice to and thereby protect any future purchasers or encumbrancers of the property; and (2) to protect the plaintiff from intervening liens....

...The trial court denied the motion and the bank appealed. Id. The issue on appeal in Quadomain was whether the bank’s supplemental lis pendens divested the trial court of jurisdiction to adjudicate the association’s lien. Id. This Court quoted from section 48.23, Florida Statutes. Id. at 979. That statute, last amended effective July 1, 2009, 3 provides in part as follows: 3 Previously, language similar to that now appearing in section 48.23(1)(d) appeared in section 48.23(1)(b), but the period of time for intervening was only twenty days. § 48.23(1)(b), Fla....

...under the association’s declaration of covenants recorded before the Lender recorded its notice of lis pendens. Quadomain does not discuss whether an association’s declaration of covenants (or of condominium) constitutes an “interest” under section 48.23(1)(d), Florida Statutes. We hold that such a declaration may qualify as an “interest.” Therefore, declarations which are recorded not only prior to the notice of lis pendens, but prior to the mortgage itself, may constitute a prior recorded interest under section 48.23(1)(d), Florida Statutes, such that the filing of a lis pendens does not automatically preclude an association from foreclosing on a lien imposed under the declaration, although the association’s foreclosure may be subordinate to the f...
...foreclosure by an institutional mortgagee extinguishes the lien for any assessments coming due prior to the sale or transfer. Essentially, the Declaration serves as a lien to secure future assessments. Thus, it constitutes an “encumbrance or interest” for purposes of section 48.23(1)(d), Florida Statutes....
...Further, the filing dates of any liens incurred under the Declaration, including the lien at issue, relate back to the date of the Declaration’s recording. Because the Declaration was recorded prior to the Lender’s lis pendens, a foreclosure action based upon a claim of lien filed under its terms is not barred by section 48.23(1)(d). This conclusion is not undermined by the Declaration’s exception to the relation-back provision with regard to first mortgages. This provision is relevant in determining priority of liens, rather than serving the notice purposes of section 48.23, Florida Statutes (with its bar to enforcement of unrecorded property interests by a separate suit)....

...Unlike Quadomain, the Association’s suit did not involve the Lender. See Quadomain, 103 So. 3d at 978. Significantly, the Lender’s priority is not at issue here, and the Association acknowledges the Lender’s superior interest. Thus, the purposes of lis pendens and section 48.23(1)(d), Florida Statutes, are not served by allowing Jallali to assert these rights against the Association. Accordingly, Quadomain does not control the outcome of this proceeding between the Association and the delinquent homeowner....

This appeal followed.
