Unconditional Waiver on Progress PaymentRequired
Immediately and unconditionally waives lien rights for a specific progress payment amount, regardless of whether payment has actually been received.
Conditional Waiver on Final PaymentRequired
Waives all lien rights upon receipt of the final payment. The waiver is conditioned on actual receipt of the specified final payment amount.

Arizona Lien Waiver Rules
Arizona requires the use of statutory lien waiver forms. Any waiver that does not substantially comply with the statutory form is unenforceable. Four statutory forms are provided: conditional/unconditional progress and conditional/unconditional final. Using non-statutory forms can void the waiver.
