The Minnesota construction lien law doesn't set forth a specific provision for the satisfaction of a lien. Therefore, any form sufficient to identify the lien and the lien holders intention of releasing it, will allow a lien holder to provide notice that the lien is released after receiving payment in full.

The Satisfaction of 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). The Satisfaction of Lien should be recorded at the public records office or registrar of deeds (for Torrens title property).
