1. Scope of Work
Subcontractor shall furnish all labor, tools, equipment, and materials necessary to complete the agreed scope of work in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all applicable building codes.
2. Payment
GC shall pay Subcontractor within 10 days after receiving payment from the Project Owner. Under Wyo. Stat. § 29-1-301 (public), the general contractor must pay subcontractors within 15 days after receiving payment from the owner. On private jobs, payment terms are contract-driven, though pay-if-paid clauses are generally unenforceable under Wyoming case law.
3. Retainage
GC may withhold 10% retainage from each progress payment. Wyoming does not cap retainage by statute on private construction; retainage is negotiable. On public jobs, retention is commonly 5%.
4. Lien Waivers
Wyoming does not require statutory lien waiver forms; waivers are undefined enforceable if they clearly identify the project, amount, and date. Conditional waivers are best practice until payment clears to preserve lien rights under Title 29, Chapter 1.
5. Mechanics Lien Rights Preserved
Wyoming requires filing a lien within 90 days after the last work or materials were furnished, followed by foreclosure within 1 year of filing. Wyoming does not require a statutory preliminary notice for private projects; best practice is a voluntary Notice of Intent to lien.
6. Indemnification
Wyoming under Wyo. Stat. § 29-1-103 voids provisions in construction contracts requiring a subcontractor to indemnify another party for that party’s sole negligence or willful misconduct.
7. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, including Wyoming Statutes Title 29, Chapter 1 (Wyoming Lien Law) and Prompt Pay at Wyo. Stat. § 29-1-301 et seq. (public) and Title 29, Chapter 1 (private).

Wyoming Subcontractor Agreement FAQs
When must a general contractor pay me under Wyoming prompt payment law?
Under Wyo. Stat. § 29-1-301 (public), the general contractor must pay subcontractors within 15 days after receiving payment from the owner. On private jobs, payment terms are contract-driven, though pay-if-paid clauses are generally unenforceable under Wyoming case law. Your subcontract should mirror these statutory deadlines so that late payments automatically trigger the statutory interest and remedies without negotiation.
How much retainage can a GC legally withhold in Wyoming?
Wyoming does not cap retainage by statute on private construction; retainage is negotiable. On public jobs, retention is commonly 5%. Your agreement should specify the exact retainage percentage, the release schedule (typically at substantial completion and final completion), and payment of statutory interest on withheld retainage.
Are pay-if-paid clauses enforceable in Wyoming subcontracts?
Your state restricts pay-if-paid clauses as described above.
What lien waiver rules apply in Wyoming?
Wyoming does not require statutory lien waiver forms; waivers are undefined enforceable if they clearly identify the project, amount, and date. Conditional waivers are best practice until payment clears to preserve lien rights under Title 29, Chapter 1. Never sign an unconditional waiver until payment has actually cleared your bank account, and make sure your waiver identifies the specific billing period and amounts to avoid losing lien rights on future work.
Can a Wyoming subcontract require me to indemnify the GC for the GC’s own negligence?
Wyoming under Wyo. Stat. § 29-1-103 voids provisions in construction contracts requiring a subcontractor to indemnify another party for that party’s sole negligence or willful misconduct. Always read the indemnification clause carefully — even in states with anti-indemnity statutes, "broad form" indemnity for joint negligence is typically still enforceable.
How do I preserve my mechanics lien rights in Wyoming?
Wyoming requires filing a lien within 90 days after the last work or materials were furnished, followed by foreclosure within 1 year of filing. Wyoming does not require a statutory preliminary notice for private projects; best practice is a voluntary Notice of Intent to lien. Send statutory notices by certified mail or another trackable method, keep copies of everything, and calendar the deadlines immediately upon each project’s completion.
