Recording Fees

Fees charged by the Register of Deeds are generally set by the state legislature. The majority of the monies collected are deposited into the county general fund. These fees are used to offset the costs of providing services to customers that use this office. Since the primary funding source for providing services to county citizens comes from property taxes, it is necessary to charge these "user fees". This is one of the few county government offices that has the ability to alleviate some of the costs associated with providing vital services from the property tax payer to the actual user of that office.
