What is Satisfaction of Mortgage? A Satisfaction of Mortgage, also known as a Mortgage Lien Release, is a legal document provided by the mortgagee (financial institution) advising that the mortgage has been paid in full, all terms of the loan have been satisfied and there will no longer be a lien on the property.
In order to clear the title to the real property owned by the mortgagor, the Satisfaction of Mortgage document must be recorded with the County Recorder or Recorder of Deeds. If the mortgagee fails to record a satisfaction within the set time limits, the mortgagee may be responsible for damages set out by statute.

If a lender takes longer than 90 days to record it, they can be charged up to $1,500 in penalties. So, in theory, a satisfaction should be recorded within 30-90 days of payoff regardless of what state you work in.
