Lien Waivers in Your Draw Packet

Which waivers to include with each draw request and how OwnerDraw auto-generates the status report.

Draw funding, vendor payment, and waiver status are separate. A funded draw does not mark the vendor paid, and neither state means a waiver was signed.

When a draw is prepared, OwnerDraw can warn about expenses that still need a signed waiver under that project's settings. This warning does not establish what your lender will accept. Check your lender's current document requirements before submitting.

Use the expense's **Waiver** status to take the next action. Find project-wide files and requests under **Waiver Documents & Requests**. Its **Document status** describes one document, not whether the expense's full requirement is complete. Use **Check requirement** for a linked expense, or **Review & link** for a document that is not connected to the correct expense.
