When to use this template

Prepare construction payment/compliance documentation online, then generate a formal PDF record. Use this at project closeout when the owner or title company requires sworn confirmation that you have paid all subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers for the project before final payment is released.

What to include

  • Project name, address, owner name, contractor name, and the contract number or reference linking this affidavit to the construction agreement.
  • Sworn statement that all payrolls, material bills, equipment rental charges, and other indebtedness related to the project have been paid or will be paid from the final payment proceeds.
  • List of all subcontractors and suppliers with their names, scope of work or materials provided, contract or purchase order amount, total paid to date, and any outstanding balance.
  • Identification of any disputed amounts or pending claims, with the dollar amounts, the parties involved, and the reason for the dispute, so the owner can evaluate the risk before releasing final payment.
  • Notarized signature of an authorized officer of the contracting company, with the affiant's printed name, title, and the date of execution, acknowledging that false statements may constitute perjury.

Common questions

Can I complete this Construction Affidavit of Payment of Debts/Claims online for each billing cycle?
Yes. Enter references, amounts, declarations, and supporting details in-browser.
Can I save this Construction Affidavit of Payment of Debts/Claims for repeat draw or closeout cycles?
Yes. With an account, save and reuse it to keep payment documentation consistent across projects.
Can I generate a compliance-ready PDF from this Construction Affidavit of Payment of Debts/Claims?
Yes. Export a professional PDF for owners, lenders, sureties, and project records.
When is this affidavit required?
Most AIA-based contracts require it at final payment, referencing the AIA G706 form. Title companies also require it before closing on new construction or major renovations to ensure the property is free of lien claims.
What if I still owe a subcontractor when this is due?
Disclose the outstanding amount on the affidavit and explain that it will be paid from the final payment proceeds. Do not falsely swear that everything is paid if it is not, because this is a notarized legal document.
Is this the same as a final lien waiver?
No. The affidavit swears you have paid your debts downstream. The final lien waiver releases your lien rights against the owner's property. Both are typically required at closeout, and they serve different purposes.
Do I need to include supplier invoices as backup to the affidavit?
Most owners or lenders will want paid invoices or lien waivers from your major suppliers attached. Having them ready when you submit the affidavit avoids a back-and-forth that delays your final payment.
