Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records follow a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment shows that a loan was transferred from one lender or holder to another, while a release shows that the loan was paid off and the lien removed.
Webster County has 14,933 assignment and release records. They include 3,190 assignment documents recorded from January 6, 2005, to August 26, 2025, and 11,724 release documents recorded from April 8, 2005, to September 3, 2025, along with 19 other documents.
