Florida Statutory Release of Lien Forms (Florida Statutes § 713.20)
Florida's construction lien law prescribes the exact wording for progress and final releases of lien in Florida Statutes § 713.20. General contractors submitting draw packages to a Florida construction lender are expected to include statutorily conforming releases — non-conforming waivers can delay or block funding and may not effectively release the underlying lien rights.
Waiver and Release of Lien Upon Progress Payment
Used for interim draws. Waives lien rights through a specific date in exchange for a progress payment. Includes a conditional variant that only becomes effective upon payment clearance.
Waiver and Release of Lien Upon Final Payment
Used for the final draw. Fully releases lien and bond rights for the project. The conditional variant is the safer choice when the check has not yet cleared.
Why § 713.20 language matters to your draw
Florida banks and title insurers routinely reject draw packages that contain non-conforming lien releases. The statute also includes a bold-face notice requirement for unconditional releases warning the signer that the document waives rights unconditionally. Missing or altered language is a common reason draws get held.
