Assignment and Release Records
Two kinds of recorded documents show what became of a mortgage after it was first filed. Assignments record the transfer of a loan between lenders, and releases record that the loan was repaid and the lien lifted.
Trinity County has 15,558 assignment and release records available for research. They include 2,269 assignment documents and 13,263 release documents, along with 26 other documents. Assignments were recorded January 3, 2005, through August 28, 2025, and releases January 3, 2005, through August 28, 2025.
For property research, these records help show who holds a mortgage on a property and whether earlier mortgages have been paid off. Buyers, owners and researchers can use them to confirm that past loans were released, follow a loan as it moved between lenders, and spot mortgages that may still be open before a sale or refinance. The recorded date ranges also make it easier to focus on documents filed during a specific period of a property's history.
