Releasing a Lien in Wisconsin

Property subject to a mechanic's lien should be released when the owner posts a bond or other surety to guarantee payment of the underlying lien. In exchange for posting the bond, the lien claimant should file a release with the clerk of court. Property should also be released when a lien is satisfied as a matter of course.

To release a lien, a surety bond must be posted in a value equal to 125 percent of the claim for lien. See Wis. Stat. 779.08(1). The court shall determine any question of sufficiency of the surety if an exception is taken by the lien claimant. Id.

The clerk of court shall remove the lien from the judgment and lien docket upon the court's order approving the surety in substitution for the lien. Id.

Issuing a release is required by law when the lien is no longer justified. Every lien claimant, or the attorney who executed and filed a claim for lien on the claimant's behalf, who has received satisfaction or tender of the claim with the costs of any action brought on the claim shall, at the request of any person interested in the premises affected and on payment of the costs of satisfying the same, execute and deliver the necessary satisfaction to the interested person. Wis. Stat. 779.13. When the satisfaction is filed with the clerk of circuit court, the clerk of circuit court shall enter satisfaction of the claim on the judgment and lien docket. Id.

Failure to execute and deliver the satisfaction or to satisfy the lien on the judgment and lien docket shall render the person so refusing liable to pay to the person requiring the satisfaction a sum equal to one-half of the sum claimed in the claim for lien. Id.

This is the most comprehensive, helpful real estate tool I have seen. I was at first worried because the 330# didn’t have live operators but I received messages in my account as quickly as a conversation had by text and was able to download a deed and record it the same day in a county 1,300 miles away. Highly recommended!

I downloaded the Lady Bird deed. The process was quick and easy to download. Just select your county, fill out the form. You will need the property description from your original deed. In my case I had to go downtown Wayne County (Detroit). (Make an appt online). 1st you will have to get the property tax certified to ensure all taxes are paid to date (5th floor at the Wayne County Treasurer office). Give them the form you just filled out and they will stamp certified $5. After that take the form to the Register of Deeds (7th floor) appt needed. $18. Make sure it is properly notarized and all signatures completed. Once approved, they will scan it, stamp it, give it back with a receipt and mail a copy also. All Done. Worked beautifully. My co worker go a lawyer and paid over $250. I just used deeds.com and total for forms and going downtown with notarizing was less than $40 Yea!
