Assignment and release records follow a mortgage after it is first recorded. An assignment documents a loan being transferred from one lender or holder to another, and a release shows that the mortgage was paid off and the lien removed from the property.
Wood County has 29,116 assignment and release records, including 3,820 assignment documents, 25,222 release documents, and 74 other documents. Assignments were recorded from November 16, 2001, to August 22, 2025, and releases from November 1, 1985, to August 27, 2025.
For property research, these records help confirm that earlier loans were satisfied, trace a mortgage between lenders, and find liens that may still be open before a sale or refinance. The long release history also helps when reviewing older loans on a property.
