Under federal law, the servicer must generally send you a payoff statement within seven business days of your request, subject to a few exceptions. (12 C.F.R. § 1026.36.)
To ensure a proper payoff, sellers or closing agents must contact the lien holder or their attorney for an official payoff statement. This statement outlines the final payoff amount and includes details on principal balances, accrued interest, attorney's fees, and administrative costs.
(c) A beneficiary, or his or her authorized agent, shall, on the written demand of an entitled person, or his or her authorized agent, prepare and deliver a payoff demand statement to the person demanding it within 21 days of the receipt of the demand.
A payoff request allows a third party to receive the current balance due to release a lien or facilitate a business transfer (bulk sale transfer or liquor license). To release a lien or facilitate a bulk sale transfer, businesses must be in good standing to receive a payoff request.
You can electronically record documents online (eRecording) or you can bring your original documents to the Main Courthouse, South County Courthouse, North County Courthouse, West County Courthouse, Royal Palm Beach branch or mail your documents.
To get a payoff letter, ask your lender for an official payoff statement. Call or write to customer service or make the request online. While logged into your account, look for options to request or calculate a payoff amount, and provide details such as your desired payoff date.
