ACRIS Recording Fees
As Part of the ACRIS process, the recording fees are calculated, and a total fee page generated at the end of the cover page session.
Real Property Recording Fees
| Real Property Recording Fees | |
| Document To Be Filed | Fee On Standard Form |
| Real Estate Documents | $32.00 + $5.00 per page + $5.00 for Cover Page. Minimum for 2 pages = $42.00 ($32.00 + 1 Cover Page + 1 document page). Note: One 2 sided page counts as 2 pages. |
| Where the point size is less than 8 points (ordinary newsprint) | $49.00 + $10.00 per page for Cover Page. Minimum for 2 pages = $64.00 ($49.00 + 1 Cover Page + 1 document page). |
| Additional blocks | $2.00 for each additional block in excess of one. |
| Additional lots | $3.00 for each additional lot in excess of one. |
| Assignments of Mortgage |
Assignment of Mortgage An additional $3.00 is charged for every mortgage recited in an assignment in excess of one. |
| Satisfaction of Mortgage |
If the satisfaction involves a consolidated mortgage, the total recording charge minus the $5.00 per page must be multiplied by the number of mortgages in the consolidated mortgage; add the $5.00 per page to this total. (A spreader agreement is treated as a separate mortgage). E.g. If you are recording a 2 page satisfaction, the recording fee minus the $5.00 per page is $32.00. If it represents a consolidation of 2 mortgages, the charge would be $64.00 + $10.00 for the 2 pages = $74.00. |
