MONO COUNTY RECORDING FEES

Recording fees are calculated based on all pages submitted for recording. Any page that contains text or images will be recorded and charged the applicable fees.

Fees are determined by the document title(s) and may include more than just the base recording fee. The Senate Bill 2 Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2) fee applies to each real estate instrument, paper, or notice required or permitted by law to be recorded, unless a valid exemption is claimed or transfer tax is being collected.

Please review all recording fee information before calculating your total recording fee. The complete fee schedule can be found here.

Additional information to consider when determining recording fees:

• A standard page is defined as one printed side of a single 8½ by 11 inch sheet (two-sided pages count as two standard pages).

  • Documents must be 8½ x 11 inches. Pages that do not meet this size requirement are subject to a $3.00 per page penalty.

• Documents containing multiple titles are charged additional fees per title.
• If there is insufficient space (approximately 3” x 3”) at the top of the first page for the Recorder’s endorsement, the submitter will be required to attach a cover page to allow space for the endorsement; this additional page will be charged an additional $3.00.
• A Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR) must accompany documents transferring title. If a PCOR is missing or incomplete an an additional $20.00 fee will apply. A PCOR is considered incomplete if required signatures are missing or incorrect.
