How it works

From blank form to signed waiver, without chasing anyone down

Generate for free

Pick your state and waiver type. We fill in the correct form (statutory text where required) and you download the PDF free. No watermark.

Send for e-signature

Send the waiver for electronic signature in the states that allow it. The signer clicks a secure link, no account or download needed on their end.

Signed copy stored

The signed waiver is stored on your project with a tamper-evident audit certificate, and both parties automatically receive their copies.

Automatic reminders

Unsigned waivers get automatic follow-up reminders until they're signed, so you never have to nag a sub, vendor, or GC yourself.

Lien waivers flow both ways

Whether you're signing waivers to get your check released or collecting them before you cut one, the same tool handles both sides of the exchange.

Need to send a waiver to get paid

Subcontractors and suppliers: the GC or owner won't release your check until a signed waiver lands on their desk. Generate the correct one for the payment and the project's state, sign it electronically where allowed, and send it back in minutes, not days.

✓ The right conditional or unconditional form for the payment
✓ Statutory wording where the state requires it
✓ Your copy of every waiver you've signed, in one place

Need to collect waivers from subs & vendors

General contractors and owners: every payment you make should come back with a signed waiver, or you're paying twice for the same lien exposure. Request waivers from everyone you pay, watch who has and hasn't signed, and keep every signed copy on the project.

✓ Send signature requests to subs, vendors, and suppliers
✓ Automatic reminders chase the stragglers for you
✓ Signed copies organized by project, ready for the lender

12 states prescribe the form: we generate the exact statutory text

In these states a lien waiver only works if it follows the wording the legislature wrote. Use the wrong form and the waiver can be invalid, or waive more than you meant to. We generate the statutory text, sized and formatted the way the statute demands.

Why a generator beats a Word template

The right text for the state and the payment. Where a state prescribes the wording, a waiver that strays from it can be void. The generator picks the form for the project's state and the kind of payment, so no one edits statutory text by hand.

Fields that match the statute. Each form asks for what its blanks call for, such as the check maker, the amount, the through date, or a legal description where the statute needs one. Nothing is left to guess.

E-signature where the state allows it. Send a waiver for electronic signature for $49 a month per person. Where a state needs a notary or a witness, you get a print-ready PDF instead.

Reminders until it is signed. Unsigned waivers get automatic reminders, so you don't have to chase subs, vendors, or the GC yourself.

A record of who signed what. Each signed waiver is stored on its project with an audit certificate that shows who signed and when. A Word file on a shared drive keeps none of that.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a conditional and an unconditional lien waiver?

A conditional waiver only takes effect once the payment it describes actually arrives; if the check bounces or never comes, your lien rights survive. An unconditional waiver gives up lien rights immediately upon signing, whether or not you're ever paid. The safe practice: sign conditional waivers when payment is promised, and unconditional waivers only after the money is in hand.

What's the difference between a progress waiver and a final waiver?

A progress (or partial/interim) waiver covers a single progress payment; it waives lien rights only for work through a specific date, leaving rights for later work intact. A final waiver is signed with the last payment on the project and waives all remaining lien rights. Most projects exchange a progress waiver at every draw and one final waiver at closeout.

Do lien waivers need to be notarized?

Almost never. Only Mississippi and Wyoming require lien waivers to be notarized, and Georgia requires a witness signature on its statutory forms. In the other 47 states an ordinary signature is enough, though a customer's contract can always ask for more than the statute does. Each of our state pages spells out exactly what that state requires.

Is an electronic signature valid on a lien waiver?

Yes, in most states. The federal E-SIGN Act and each state's UETA make electronic signatures legally equivalent to ink for documents like lien waivers, and our e-signature flow produces a tamper-evident audit certificate with every signed copy. A few states' statutory forms carry execution requirements (like Georgia's witness signature) that don't fit an online signing flow; in those states we disable e-signature and generate a print-ready PDF instead, and the state page tells you why.

Do I have to pay to create a lien waiver?

No. Generating and downloading the correct waiver for your state is free, with no watermark and no credit card. You only pay when you want us to do the follow-up work: sending waivers for e-signature, chasing signatures with automatic reminders, and storing the signed copies on your projects. Free accounts can also save up to 3 waivers to their projects each month.

Does the person I send a waiver to need an account to sign it?

No. The signer gets a secure link by email, verifies their identity with a one-time code, reviews the waiver, and signs, all in the browser with no account, password, or download. After signing they're offered a free account to keep track of everything they've signed, but it's never required.

Which states require a specific lien waiver form?

Twelve states regulate the form itself: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming prescribe statutory waiver forms, and Massachusetts and Missouri impose special rules. In those states we generate the exact statutory text, sized and formatted the way the statute demands. The other 38 states leave the format to the parties, and our attorney-reviewed house forms apply with that state's execution rules built in.

Can I upload a waiver that was signed on paper?

Yes. If a waiver was wet-signed, notarized, or witnessed on paper (as Mississippi, Wyoming, and Georgia require), you can upload the signed copy and store it on the project alongside everything else, so your whole waiver history lives in one place regardless of how each one was signed.

What's the difference between sending a waiver and collecting one?

Sending is for subcontractors and suppliers who sign their own waiver so a customer will release payment. Collecting is for general contractors and owners who request signed waivers from the subs and vendors they pay. The same tool handles both: it picks the correct form, tracks who has signed, and keeps every signed copy on the project. You choose which direction you're working in when you start a waiver.
