Sec. 7-29. Release or assignment of mortgage or lien. When any town clerk has
recorded any instrument that the town clerk knows to be a release, partial release or
assignment of a mortgage or lien recorded on the records of such town, the town clerk
shall make a notation on the first page where such mortgage or lien is recorded, stating
the book and page where such release, partial release or assignment is recorded, except
that a manual notation of such release, partial release or assignment shall not be required
if such town clerk provides public access to an electronic indexing system that combines
the grantor index and the grantee index of the town's land records.
(1949 Rev., S. 555; P.A. 00-92, S. 1; P.A. 07-252, S. 53.)

are not maintained in paper form, clerk shall make the notation on the digitized image of the first page, and made technical
changes for the purpose of gender neutrality; P.A. 07-252 added exception to requirement for manual notation of release
or assignment for town clerk who provides public access to electronic indexing system that combines grantor and grantee
