NOTICE: FEE ADJUSTMENT FOR RECORDED DOCUMENTS EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 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 takes effect on July 1, 2010. HB1007 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 the Real Estate Records of the Recording Division of the Clerk and Recorder's Office:

•  $10 for the first page and $5 for each additional page for recording standard sized documents (*plus $1.00 surcharge per document)

•  Eliminates the additional charges of $5 per grantor/grantee entries into the Index

*Please note: An additional $1.00 surcharge per document remains in effect per §30-10-421 C.R.S. on most document types.

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.

Documents received in our office on July 1, 2010 or after, will be charged the adjusted fees.

 

The following fees are charged for submitting documents for recording and obtaining copies of records. Effective September 1, 2002, CRS 30-10-421 initiated a $1.00 surcharge on each document received for recording. Please contact the Recording Department at (719) 520-6200 or via email at recweb@elpasoco.com with any questions.

Please note the return mail address needs to be located on the front of the document.
