Illinois Subcontractor's Final Waiver and Release of Mechanic's Lien

Under 770 ILCS 60, Illinois' Mechanic's Lien act, lien waivers are used between a contractor (including a sub or general) and a property owner to induce or encourage final or partial payments in exchange for forfeiting the claimant's right to a mechanic's lien.

Use the Final Lien Waiver after the confirmed final payment on an outstanding mechanic's lien. A subcontractor signs this form and provides to the owner and/or prime contractor in exchange for final payment on the job.
