This waiver acts as a receipt or evidence of payment for services or materials provided by the contractor, indicating that they have received full or partial payment and relinquishing their right to file a lien on the property. There are two main types of Iowa Waiver of Construction Lien: 1. Conditional Waiver: This type of waiver is used when the contractor receives a progress payment or partial payment for their work or materials. It states that the waiver is only valid if the payment is successfully processed and clears the bank. This ensures that the contractor is compensated before waiving their lien rights. 2. Unconditional Waiver: This type of waiver is used when the contractor receives full payment for their work or materials. It indicates that the contractor has been paid in full and willingly relinquishes their right to file a construction lien on the property. Unlike the conditional waiver, the unconditional waiver is effective immediately upon signing. Both types of waivers must be signed voluntarily by the contractor, subcontractor, or supplier and should accurately state the amount of payment received or to be received. It is crucial to read and understand the language of the waiver before signing, as once signed, the contractor's lien rights are permanently waived.
