FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
What the recorder charges for
- Per-document, per-page
- A base fee covers the first page and each extra page adds a set amount, so a long mortgage costs far more than a short deed.
- Extra surcharges
- Many counties add technology, preservation or housing surcharges on top of the base fee. Enter them in the per-page and base fields.
- Releases
- Paying off a lien is not complete until the release is recorded, and each one carries its own recording charge.
