Assignment and release records track a mortgage after it is first recorded. An assignment shows that a loan was transferred from one lender or holder to another, and a release shows that the mortgage was satisfied and the lien removed from the property.
Wichita County has 75,070 assignment and release records, including 12,301 assignment documents, 62,638 release documents, and 131 other documents. Both assignments and releases were recorded from January 3, 2005, to July 31, 2025.
These records help researchers confirm that earlier loans were paid off, follow a mortgage as it changed hands, and identify liens that may still be open before a sale or refinance. The long date range makes it easier to review the financing history of a property over many years.
