State-Specific Lien Waiver Requirements

Which states have mandatory statutory forms and what that means for your project.

Mandatory Statutory Form States

These 12 states require you to use their specific statutory lien waiver forms:

**Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, Utah, Wyoming**

What This Means

If you're building in one of these states, you must use the state-prescribed form. A generic lien waiver may not be legally enforceable.

All Other States

States not listed above accept standard lien waiver forms. OwnerDraw provides industry-standard forms that are accepted in these jurisdictions.

OwnerDraw Generates the Right Form

OwnerDraw automatically generates the correct lien waiver form based on your project's state. You don't need to worry about finding the right template.

> TIP: Even if your state doesn't require a statutory form, always use a written lien waiver. Verbal agreements are not enforceable in lien waiver situations.
