Assignment and Release Records
Assignments and releases are the records that follow a mortgage after it is first recorded. An assignment shows that a loan was transferred to a different lender or servicer, and a release shows that the loan was paid in full and the lien on the property was cleared.
Montgomery County has 6,643 assignment and release records, consisting of 769 assignment documents, 5,866 release documents, and 8 other documents. Assignments were recorded from January 6, 2005, to October 6, 2022, and releases from January 4, 2005, to August 18, 2025.
For property research, these records answer practical questions: who holds the mortgage today, whether earlier loans were satisfied, and how a loan moved between lenders over time. Buyers and title professionals can use them to confirm a clean record before closing, and owners can use them to verify that a paid-off mortgage was formally released.
