The Virginia Owner’s Affidavit as to Mechanic’s Liens and Possession is an affidavit used by the owner of a property in the state of Virginia to provide evidence that they are not liable for any mechanic’s lien that may be filed against the property. The affidavit is used to provide proof that the owner has made full payment to all contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers associated with the construction, alteration, or repair of the property. It is also used to provide proof that the owner has possession of the property and has no outstanding claim from any subcontractor or supplier. The Virginia Owner’s Affidavit as to Mechanic’s Liens and Possession is available in two different forms: the Standard Form and the Short Form. The Standard Form is used by owners of new construction, alteration, or repair projects, while the Short Form is used for existing properties. The affidavit must be signed by the owner and notarized before it can be used.
