About Florida lien waivers

Florida does not prescribe a specific statutory waiver form but does regulate waiver content. Florida law distinguishes between partial and final waivers and has specific rules about what a waiver must include to be enforceable. A common mistake is signing a general release when only a partial waiver was intended.

Key Florida lien waiver requirements

• Florida Statutes §713.20 governs waiver and release of lien rights
• Partial waivers must specify the exact amount received and the period covered
• Final waivers extinguish all lien rights on the project
• Waivers cannot be required before the lienor is entitled to payment
• Specific language required distinguishing between partial and final release
