Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records follow a mortgage after it is 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 from the property.
Rock County has 3,393 assignment and release records available for research. They include 275 assignment documents recorded from December 7, 2020, through July 29, 2025, and 3,117 release documents recorded from December 1, 2020, through August 26, 2025, plus 1 other document.
Buyers, owners, and title researchers can use these records to confirm that earlier mortgages were paid off, follow a loan between lenders, and spot liens that may still be open before a sale or refinance. Coverage begins in December 2020, so older loan activity may not appear in this set of records.
