Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records track what happens to a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment shows that a mortgage was transferred from one lender or loan holder to another, while a release shows that a mortgage was paid off and the lien removed from the property.
Glenn County has 25,505 assignment and release records available for research. They include 3,790 assignment documents recorded from January 3, 2005 through August 27, 2025, and 21,671 release documents recorded from January 7, 2001 through August 27, 2025, along with 44 other documents.
For property research, these records help show who holds a mortgage on a property and whether earlier loans have been satisfied.

The recording dates also make it easier to focus on documents filed during a particular period in a property's history.
