Assignment and release records track a mortgage after it has been recorded. An assignment shows that a mortgage moved from one lender or holder to another, while a release shows that the loan was satisfied and the lien was removed from the property.
Delta County has 36,543 assignment and release records available for research. They include 4,902 assignment documents, 31,590 release documents, and 51 other documents. Assignments were recorded from January 3, 2005, through August 21, 2025, and releases from October 11, 1996, through August 29, 2025.
For property research, these records help show who holds a mortgage on a property and whether earlier mortgages were paid off.

The long release history also gives a view of loan activity going back to the 1990s.
