6. What do I do when I have paid off the loan on my vehicle?

Once you have paid off the loan, your financial institution will do one of 2 things. They will either release (sign off on) the title and send the title to County Auditor's Licensing Division, or they will send the released title directly to you.

If the financial institution sends the title directly to the County Auditor's Licensing Division, the Auditor's Office will process the change in title and mail you a copy of the new title. If the financial institution sends you the released title, then you must bring in or mail in the title to the County Auditor's Licensing Division to have the new title processed.

If you do not hear anything from the Licensing Division or from your financial institution in a reasonable time, call your financial institution to ensure they are taking steps to release the title to you.
