It depends. Is the lienholder reachable? Has the lien been paid? Why wasn't' this taken care of by the title company when you closed on the purchase? IF 1) you have a current title report showing the lien recording information, 2) you know where to find the lienholder and 3) he's willing to sign the release with no hassles, should cost maybe $200-300 for preparation and recording of the release.
