When a mortgage changes hands or is paid off, the change is recorded. An assignment documents the transfer of a loan to a new holder, and a release documents that the debt was satisfied and the lien cleared from the property.
Tehama County has 71,219 assignment and release records available for research. They include 12,110 assignment documents and 58,966 release documents, along with 143 other documents.

The recorded date ranges also make it easier to focus on documents filed during a specific period of a property's history.
