Mechanic's Lien Conditional Waiver Upon Progress Payment
What is this form?
The Mechanic's Lien Conditional Waiver Upon Progress Payment is a legal document that releases a mechanic's lien when a contractor or subcontractor receives a progress payment. This form is essential for those in the construction industry as it offers protection against claims for unpaid services while ensuring that the payee confirms receipt of payment. It is distinct from a full lien release, which would cover all claims for payment upon completion of the work.
Main sections of this form
- Identification of the payer: Includes the name and address of the entity issuing the payment.
- Payment details: Specifies the amount paid and method of payment.
- Work description: Outlines the nature of the work completed and covered by this waiver.
- Limitations: Clarifies what is not covered by this waiver, including any retainages or unpaid extras.
- Signature: Requires signatures from authorized representatives of both parties.
When to use this form
This form should be used when a contractor or subcontractor has completed a portion of their work and has received a progress payment. Using this conditional waiver helps clear any claims related to the paid amount but does not affect the right to claim for work not covered by the payment received. It's particularly useful in situations where contractors are required to demonstrate that they are not withholding any claims against the property for the work done up to that point.
Who can use this document
- Contractors and subcontractors who have completed work on a project.
- Property owners who need to ensure that they have cleared liens for partial payments.
- Construction project managers handling multiple payments and contracts.
- Anyone involved in construction financing or lien management.
How to complete this form
- Identify the payer by entering the appropriate name and address in the specified fields.

- Specify the nature of the services or materials provided and the period covered by this waiver.
- Ensure the form is signed by an authorized representative from both parties involved in the transaction.
