Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records track what happens to a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment shows that a mortgage was transferred from one lender or loan holder to another, while a release shows that the loan was satisfied and the lien removed from the property.
Alamance County has 138,867 assignment and release records available for research. They include 14,152 assignment documents, recorded from January 2, 2007, through September 2, 2025, and 124,705 release documents, recorded from January 4, 2005, through September 2, 2025, along with 10 other documents.
These records help buyers, owners, and researchers see who holds a mortgage on a property, follow a loan as it moved between lenders, and confirm that earlier mortgages have been paid off. Checking them before a sale or refinance can reveal liens that may still be open. The date ranges also make it easier to focus on documents recorded in a particular period of a property's history.
