Questions answered? Let's get started!
Mechanic's liens are governed under Chapter 572 of Iowa Code. A waiver is a conscious relinquishment of a right. In this case, the person granting the waiver is relinquishing the right to seek a mechanic's lien for all or part of the amount due. This assurance is usually enough to get the other party to pay. In Iowa, there are no statutory forms for waivers although according to the principles of contract law, the parties may agree to such modifications in writing.
Generally, waivers come in four varieties: conditional or unconditional, and based on a partial/progress or final payment. Conditional waivers only become effective after the responsible party's check clears the bank on which it was drawn, and provide more protection for the claimants. Unconditional waivers go into effect immediately, tend to favor the owners' interests, and should only be used after payment is confirmed. Waiving lien rights after a partial payment allows the claimant to retain some lien rights, but to release others based on the amount paid on the overall balance due. Waivers upon final payments remove the claimant's eligibility to place a lien because they state that the account is paid in full.
Regardless of the nature, waivers must identify the parties, the location of the project, relevant dates, and payments.
Use the final unconditional waiver when a full and final payment is made and collectability of the amount due amount is not an issue. The unconditional waiver should only be granted when payment is made through a verified method. The waiver is effective up to the full amount due and the claimant waives any lien rights without condition.
This article is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for the advice from a legal professional. Please contact an Iowa attorney with any questions about sending notice to property owners or anything else with regard to mechanic's liens.

PDF fields change font sizes leading to an unprofessional-appearing printed page. The examples for "Convey to" section don't include how to specify just one person instead of a married couple. Maybe that is simple but it would help to spell it out in an example. Haven't submitted to County Recorder yet, so will find out if it is acceptable.
Thank you for the feedback Brian.
The font issue is caused by using a PDF viewer other than Adobe Acrobat Reader. Our form fields are set to a uniform 12-point font, but non-Adobe viewers often render form fields inconsistently. Opening and printing the form with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader will resolve that.
Regarding the examples, that's a fair point, we'll look at expanding them.

First time user - process went very smooth and fast. It took me a little to find my messages. At first I didn't know you process documents other than deeds so maybe you should consider putting on your home page that it's not only for deeds - it's for any document that needs recording. :)
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This was so easy to use. I appreciated the finished sample to guide me and the proper attachments necessary to process my Quit Claim Deed. I am gifting it to my nephew as I am too old to run farm and I live in a different state now. I tried other websites but their info was not up to date or accurate. Thank you so much. 71 Y/O Nana.
