A document signed at the end of a project giving up all rights to file a lien in exchange for final payment.
A final lien waiver is a document signed by a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier upon receipt of final payment, releasing all lien rights related to the project. Final lien waivers are exchanged at project closeout and are a standard condition for receiving final payment. Owners and title companies require final lien waivers from all tiers of subcontractors and suppliers to obtain clear title to the completed project.
