New Recording Fee Change Effective July 1st, 2010

HB 1007, which amends 30-1-103 (1) and (4) C.R.S., has been signed into law by Governor Bill Ritter Jr. and will take effect on July 1st, 2010.  This amendment makes recording fees uniform on a statewide basis, thereby eliminating confusion for submitters.  The passage of this law will have the following impacts on documents recorded in our office:

- $11.00 for the first page (this includes the $1 surcharge) and $5.00 for each additional page for recording standard (letter, legal) sized documents.

This fee adjustment will NOT impact the following documents: Oversized documents (Plats, Land Survey Plats), Federal Tax Liens, UCC's and Mining Claims.  The fees for recording these documents will remain the same.
