What is a release of lien?

A release of lien is a construction-related document often used when a recorded or claimed lien has been paid, resolved, satisfied, or otherwise released. It may be requested by a property owner, title company, lender, contractor, subcontractor, supplier, attorney, recorder, or project stakeholder as part of payment, title, closing, or project closeout requirements.

iRemoteNotary does not provide legal advice. Confirm the correct form and any notarization or recording instructions with the project owner, contractor, title company, lender, attorney, recorder, or other receiving party.

When a release of lien may need notarization

Notarization and recording requirements can vary by state, county, project, contract, lender, title company, recorder, owner, or receiving party.

  • After a lien has been paid or resolved
  • Before a property sale or closing
  • During title review
  • During construction project closeout
  • When requested by a property owner
  • When required by a title company or lender
  • When required by a contractor or project stakeholder
  • When needed for recording or public records

Release of lien vs. lien waiver

A lien waiver is often used before or during payment to waive certain lien rights in connection with a payment. A release of lien is often used after a lien has already been claimed, recorded, paid, resolved, or satisfied. Because these documents can affect legal rights, confirm which document is required before signing.

For related help with waiver-style documents, see our lien waiver online notary page.

If your packet references a satisfaction of lien, a partial release of lien, or a final release of lien, confirm which document your title company, lender, owner, or recorder expects before signing.

Release of lien documents may be connected to a final payment release online notary, an affidavit of no outstanding liens online notary, or satisfaction of lien online notary documents depending on the project, title, lender, or recording requirements. Confirm the required document package with the receiving party before signing.
