1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a notice of lien upon the property provided for in NRS 108.221 to 108.246, inclusive, may be discharged by an entry on the margin of the record thereof, signed by the lien claimant or the lien claimant’s personal representative or assignee in the presence of the recorder or the recorder’s deputy, acknowledging the satisfaction of or value received for the notice of lien and the debt secured thereby. The recorder or the deputy shall subscribe the entry as witness. The entry has the same effect as a discharge or release of the notice of lien acknowledged and recorded as provided by law. The recorder shall properly index each marginal discharge.
2. If the notice of lien has been recorded by a microfilm or other photographic process, a marginal release may not be used and an acknowledged discharge or release of the notice of lien must be recorded.
3. If the recorder or the recorder’s deputy is presented with a certificate executed by the lien claimant or the lien claimant’s personal representative or assignee, specifying that the notice of lien has been paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged, the recorder or the deputy shall discharge the notice of lien upon the record.
