Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records show what happens to a mortgage after it is first recorded. An assignment documents a mortgage being transferred from one lender or loan holder to another, and a release shows that the loan was satisfied and the lien removed from the property.
Carroll County has 22,760 assignment and release records, including 1,653 assignment documents, 21,069 release documents, and 38 other documents. Assignments were recorded from January 3, 2005, to August 29, 2025, and releases from January 26, 1987, to September 2, 2025.
For property research, these records help confirm whether earlier mortgages were paid off, show how a loan moved between lenders, and reveal liens that may still be open. Buyers, owners, and title researchers can use them before a sale or refinance, and the long release history gives a deep look at past loans on a property. The date ranges also help narrow a search to a specific period.
