Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records show what becomes of a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment documents the transfer of a loan from one lender or servicer to another, while a release shows that the loan was repaid and the lien lifted from the property.
Murray County has 25,598 assignment and release records, including 4,321 assignment documents, 21,242 release documents, and 35 other documents. Assignments were recorded from January 3, 2005, to February 3, 2023, and releases from January 3, 2005, to August 20, 2025.
Researchers can use these records to learn who holds or once held a mortgage, to confirm that earlier loans were satisfied, and to follow a loan through successive lenders. That makes them a useful check for buyers, lenders, and title professionals who want to be sure no unresolved lien stands in the way of a sale or refinance.
