Payoff procedures vary depending on whether the lienholder is using the Electronic Lien Title (ELT) system or a paper title. Signatures must be originals.Photocopies are not acceptable. Contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, or laborers must file mechanics' liens with the county recorder, which then become recorded liens against your property. Search Official Records for liens. To find a payoff amount, please contact the creditor or Liening party for the correct amount. Remove a lien on a piece of property with LawDepot's free Lien Release form.
