e>Demand Logo Lien Payoff Request

eDemand is a fast and easy way for escrow, title, and mortgage companies to electronically submit lien payoff demand requests to us for individuals or business entities.

If you are an individual taxpayer in a real estate transaction, ask your escrow, title, or mortgage company to complete the lien payoff request. If you are not in a real estate transaction, you can pay the lien yourself.

To submit a request, you will need to provide us your company information along with the seller, buyer, and lien information. For security purposes, you have 20 minutes to complete each page. If you take longer than 20 minutes, your session will end and you will need to start over.

After you submit a request, you will receive an email reply from us that provides an estimated processing time for the request. Do not reply to the email.

If you need to request a partial lien release or lien subordination, see Partial Release of Lien and Subordination of Lien.
