Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records show how a mortgage changed after it was recorded. An assignment documents the transfer of a mortgage from one lender or loan holder to another, and a release shows that the loan was satisfied and the lien removed.
Renville County has 11,887 assignment and release records available. They include 1,214 assignment documents recorded from August 4, 2010, through August 20, 2025, and 10,663 release documents recorded from July 5, 2007, through August 25, 2025, plus 10 other documents.
For property research, these records let owners, buyers, and title researchers confirm that earlier mortgages were paid off, follow a loan between lenders, and find liens that might still be open before a sale or refinance. Because releases outnumber assignments by a wide margin, most recorded loans in the county show a completed payoff in the record.
