State-by-state comparison of the statutory rules governing retainage (retention) on construction contracts. Each record is one state with the maximum retainage percentage for public and private projects, the deadline for releasing retained funds after substantial completion, whether retainage must be held in an interest-bearing escrow account, whether the cap is reduced after a completion milestone (e.g. 50% complete), and the statutory citation. Caps range from 0% (New Mexico) to 10%, with a strong trend toward 5%. Answers 'how much retainage can be withheld on my project in [state]', 'when must retainage be released', and 'does my state require retainage escrow'.
