9051.15 Overpayments of Fees: In order to provide for the timely and cost-effective recording of documents, the Recorder of Deeds Department will retain an overpayment processing fee not to exceed ten dollars ($10.00) for any overpayment of the fees outlined in this chapter. The remainder of any over payment, if in excess of ten dollars ($10.00), will be refunded in the ordinary course of the department's business. Any overpayment of ten dollars or less will not result in a refund unless the customer makes a request in writing within thirty (30) days of the transaction, and is able to provide a receipt or document number of the document(s) recorded in the transaction, in which instance the overpayment processing fee may be waived by the Recorder of Deeds Department.

Please remember that our fees to record a document are $21 for the first page and $3 for each additional page. Copies of recorded documents are $2 for the first page and $1 for each additional page. Paying the proper amount can save us both time and money.

Please also note that, if multiple documents are presented for recording with a single check, and one or more documents must be rejected, the amount tendered will be processed and the overpayment refunded, less the $10 refund processing fee.
