Idaho Lien Release

The Lien You Are Releasing

Pull your stamped copy of the lien — everything on this page is on it. If the details here do not match the instrument on record, the release does not release it, and no one at the counter will catch that for you.

This instrument says the debt is paid.

Idaho has no statute prescribing this instrument, so what it says is what binds you. Signing it while money is still owed puts a false statement on the public record and gives away the security you filed to protect. If you have been paid part of it, this is not the document you want — talk to a construction attorney about what is.

Where this gets filed: County Recorder. The same county recorder the claim of lien was filed with under § 45-507.

None. Idaho Code § 45-915 (mortgage discharge on demand, $100 forfeiture) reaches "any mortgage, affecting the title to real property"; applying it to a mechanics lien is an analogy argument and is unsettled.
