Review Lien Waivers

Lien waiver documents are provided to you by the job's general contractor so you can sign and return them within the required timeframe.

If lien waiver tracking is enabled for a particular job, the Lien Waivers and Lien Waiver Details sections display on the portal's job details page.

From one of the portal's job or vendor pages, click Lien Waivers.
