Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records follow a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment shows that a mortgage was passed from one lender to another, and a release shows that the loan was paid off and the lien lifted from the property.
Turner County has 5,661 assignment and release records. They include 836 assignment documents recorded from January 7, 2005, through February 8, 2023, and 4,815 release documents recorded from January 3, 2005, through August 13, 2025, plus 10 other documents.
These records help buyers, owners, and title researchers see who holds a mortgage on a property, confirm that earlier loans were satisfied, and trace how a loan moved between lenders. Checking them before a sale or refinance can reveal liens that may still be open and make it easier to focus on documents from a particular period in a property's history.
