Before the start of 2022, lien waiver forms had to be notarized to make it official. However, the latest updates to the Texas Lien Laws effective on January 1st, 2022 removed this requirement and lien waivers do not need to be notarized anymore.
These states include: Arizona. California. Connecticut. Michigan. Nevada.
Per these new adjustments, notarization is no longer a requirement for lien waivers, providing much needed administrative relief to the construction industry in Texas. These changes to the Texas Property Code took effect on January 1, 2022.
Wyoming, Texas, and Mississippi are the only states that require a person signing a lien waiver to have it notarized. The notarization requirement does not apply in Washington and Oregon, the two states we primarily serve at Northwest Lien.
To remove or clear a Lien on Texas property, the person or entity claiming the Lien needs to sign a document releasing the Lien. The document is usually called a Release of Lien, Lien Release, or a Deed of Reconveyance.
