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.
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.)
The statement is provided by the mortgage servicer and can be requested at any time. Accurate payoff information is crucial for managing financial decisions related to property ownership.
There's a process to getting the mortgage payoff statement. First, you'll need to contact your lender and let them know you want the information. Depending on your lender, you may have to sign in to an online account, call a helpline, or send a formal letter to start the request process.
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.
The number you see on your mortgage statement is the principal balance, not the payoff amount. The payoff amount showing on the settlement statement takes into account the principal balance plus interest accrued for the number of days between the statement and a few days after the closing.
