Releasing Land from a Mechanics Lien

The Minnesota construction lien law doesn't set forth a specific provision for the release of a lien. Therefore, any form sufficient to identify the lien, the subject property, and the lien holder's intention of releasing it from a previously filed lien, will allow a lien holder to provide notice that the lien is released.

The Release of Land from Mechanic's Lien contains information identifying the lien claimant and the recorded mechanic's lien (such as the date recorded, office recorded, document number, book number, and page number), and the subject property. The Release should be recorded at the public records office or registrar of deeds (for Torrens title property).

This article is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Please consult a Minnesota attorney with any questions about the Release of Land from Mechanic's Lien, or other issues related to liens.
