Conditional Waiver and Release on Final Payment — Free, Fillable Online, No Account

It is the closeout document a contractor, subcontractor or supplier signs to give up all remaining mechanic's lien rights on a project in exchange for the last payment. “Conditional” means it takes effect only when the final payment actually clears your bank — if the payment never arrives, the waiver does not bind you.

Use a progress waiver for ordinary draws during the job: it covers only the period up to its Through Date and leaves later payments protected. Use a final waiver once, at closeout, when the last payment is made and no further work or materials will be furnished. Signing a final waiver mid-project would surrender rights you still need.

Yes. The form has an exceptions section for disputed claims for extras: state the amount you still contest, and that claim stays outside the waiver. Never waive a dispute you intend to pursue — once the waiver is effective, the released rights are gone.

Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas, Utah and Wyoming prescribe their waiver form by statute. In those states a waiver that departs from the prescribed text can be void or unenforceable, so this template must not be used there — open your state's page for the verbatim statutory form.

This generic waiver requires no notarization and no witness — the claimant's signature is enough. Two of the statutory states are stricter: Mississippi and Wyoming require notarization, and Georgia requires a witness, because their statutory forms say so. Those requirements apply on the state pages, not here.

Yes. The form is free, there is no account and no email is required to download your document. Everything you type stays in your browser: the PDF is generated on your own device, nothing is sent to a server, and closing the tab erases what you entered.
