It's signed by the mortgagee (in the presence of a witness in some states and counties) and then notarized by a registered notary public.

In a nutshell, a satisfaction of mortgage is a document signed by your lender stating that you fully paid off your mortgage and that the mortgage is no longer a lien on the property.

The lender has a legal obligation to draft, notarize, and file a Florida Satisfaction of Mortgage. While the final payment satisfies the borrower's debt, it does not automatically clear the property title of the lien since the lien is a part of the public record.

The lender is required under Florida law to prepare a Florida Satisfaction of Mortgage, which must then be recorded with the clerk of the court in the county where the property is located. A notice of the filing must also be shared with the borrower.
