In Florida, you do not have to have a contract with the owner to have lien rights.  Subcontractors and suppliers have lien rights too if they follow the steps required by the lien law.

No. In fact, a written contract isn't even necessarily required to file a Florida mechanics lien. Although it's always recommended to have your contract in writing. A Florida contractor, supplier, or equipment lessor will have the right to file a lien on the improved property for any money that is owed to them for labor, services, materials, or other items. However, for those who didn't contract directly with the owner, there are preliminary notice (Notice to Owner) requirements that should be met to secure their right to file. For a full breakdown see: How to File a Florida Mechanics Lien | A Step-by-Step Guide
