Requesting a Lien Waiver in Oklahoma

Sometimes it's necessary for a property owner to request a lien waiver from a contractor in exchange for paying the contractor any amount owed. With a waiver, contractors agree to give up their rights to file a lien against the title for any outstanding balance due.

A property owner may request that a contractor provide the owner with a lien waiver from each and every person who performed labor or furnished materials for the improvement of the property. The request form identifies the parties, the project's location, and relevant dates. Deliver the request via a US Mail service with delivery confirmation.

Failure to provide lien waivers from these parties may allow the property owner to withhold payment to the contractor in the amount of any unpaid claims for labor or materials.
