Release Of Lien - Partial

Release of Lien – Partial

A Partial Release of Lien is prepared by a lienor and presented to an owner to indicate

that they have been paid for the provision of labor, services or materials through the date

noted on the Release.

Acknowledging payment relinquishes their lien rights through that period of time.

An owner must insist upon receiving this Partial Release before making progress

payments on their construction contract.

The owner can ask the contractor to obtain the Releases for him, but under no

circumstances can a contractor prepare and sign a Release on behalf of a lienor.

Make certain that you receive releases for anyone that has served you a Notice to Owner.

Make certain that you receive releases from anyone who is still within the period of time

to serve a valid Notice to Owner (45 days from first furnishing of labor, services or

materials).

Make certain that you receive one from your prime contractor as well.

As Per Florida Statutes §713.20
