Satisfaction of Judgment or a
Release and Satisfaction from the court where your judgment was filed.

You will need to contact the court where your judgment was filed. Some courts have online record systems where you can print a copy this document.
For a tax lien, this sort of document can be obtained from the government agency where it was filed – often this agency is the county Register of Deeds, or state Department of Revenue, or the IRS. Contact the agency, and request a
Lien Satisfaction.Once a tax lien is satisfied or released, you should receive a lien notice of satisfaction or a lien notice of release.
