Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records follow a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment shows that a loan was transferred from one lender or loan holder to another, and a release shows that the loan was paid off and the lien removed from the property.
Crawford County has 54,886 assignment and release records on file. They include 7,725 assignment documents recorded from January 3, 2005, to September 3, 2025, and 47,055 release documents recorded from January 3, 2005, to September 4, 2025, along with 106 other documents.
For property research, these records show who has held a mortgage on a property and whether earlier loans were satisfied. Buyers, owners, and title researchers can use them to trace a loan between lenders and to find mortgages that may still be open before a sale or refinance. The shared start date for both record types makes it easy to review the same period for each.
