Legal Forms

Prepare your lien releases after each progress payment on a construction job with this easy-to-use Conditional Waiver and Release form for Florida contractors.

This Conditional Waiver and Release form is designed to help Florida contractors efficiently prepare lien releases following each progress payment received on a construction project. The MS Word form is straightforward, customizable, reusable, and easy to use.

Legal Requirements

Section 713.20(7) of the Florida Construction Lien Law specifies the procedures and timing for waiving liens and lien rights.

Contractors using this form agree to release their lien and any rights to claim a lien for labor, materials, or services provided on the construction project, up to the date the payment is received.

Conditions and Limitations

It is important to note that this release does not apply to any retentions held after the specified release date. Additionally, the release and waiver of the contractor’s lien rights is contingent upon the property owner's payment successfully clearing the bank. If the payment does not clear, the release is not valid.
