Recording Deadline

While the specific deadlines vary from state to state, lenders will generally have to record the mortgage release within 30 to 90 days after the loan is paid off. Recording will take place at the office of the county clerk, register of deeds, or other government agency responsible for maintaining property records. Lenders should contact the office to determine the applicable filing deadline.

Note: If the mortgage has been sold by the lender, whichever entity owns the mortgage at the time of the final payment will be responsible for recording the release.
