After you have been paid or resolved the debt, just file a Release of Lien with the County Clerk’s Office where you filed the Lien. Once the release is accepted and recorded by the Clerk, the Lien is forever removed. You are required to release a lien within no later than 10 days from receiving written notice to release the lien if the dispute has been resolved.  To learn about how to remove an invalid mechanic’s Lien, CLICK HERE.
