Escrow & Title
In Wyoming, a satisfaction of mortgage (or release of deed of trust) must be recorded:
AWithin 30 days of payoff under Wyoming law
BTo provide public notice that the lien has been extinguished and the property is free of that encumbrance✓ Correct
COnly if the borrower requests it
DAt the borrower's expense in addition to the payoff amount
Explanation
Recording the satisfaction or release is essential to clear the lien from the public record. Without recording, the paid-off lien remains as an encumbrance on title, making it difficult to sell or refinance the property.
