Question 1

Is WaiverFlow free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Generating and downloading your lien waiver PDF is free. There is no account, no upload, and no payment required.

Question 2

Which states does WaiverFlow support?

Accepted Answer

California, Texas and Florida. California covers all four statutory forms: conditional and unconditional waiver and release upon progress payment (Civil Code §8132 and §8134) and upon final payment (§8136 and §8138). Texas covers the Property Code §53.284 form. Florida covers the two statutory forms under Fla. Stat. §713.20 — waiver and release upon progress payment (§713.20(4)) and upon final payment (§713.20(5)).

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

A conditional waiver only takes effect once payment actually clears, so it is the safe choice to sign before you have been paid. An unconditional waiver is effective the moment you sign it, even if payment never arrives — use it only after the payment has cleared.

Question 4

Does WaiverFlow store or see my project data?

Accepted Answer

No. WaiverFlow runs entirely in your browser. The PDF is built on your device with client-side JavaScript, and nothing you type is sent to a server.

Question 5

What is a lien waiver and when do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A lien waiver (or waiver and release) is a document a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier signs to give up mechanics-lien rights in exchange for payment on a construction project. General contractors and owners commonly require one with each progress payment and at final payment before they release funds.
