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 satisfied and the lien removed from the property.
Yolo County has 196,680 assignment and release records available for research. They include 25,608 assignment documents and 170,862 release documents, along with 210 other documents. Assignments were recorded January 3, 2005, through August 26, 2025, and releases January 1, 2001, through August 26, 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.
