This instrument says the debt is paid.

33 M.R.S. § 551(4) discharges the lien on satisfaction of the debt. 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.

The debt secured by this lien has been paid in full.

Where this gets filed: Register of Deeds. The register of deeds for the county or registry district where the lien certificate was recorded (10 M.R.S. § 3253(1)(A)).

None for mechanics liens. § 551(2)'s 60-day duty, $200 per week to a $5,000 maximum, $500 mailing penalty and attorney's fees all run against a MORTGAGEE on a MORTGAGE. § 551(4) is the only subsection covering "liens of any nature" and it carries no deadline and no penalty. Extending § 551(2) here is analogy, and unsettled.
