FEE ADJUSTMENT FOR RECORDED DOCUMENTS

EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2010

Colorado House Bill 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 Recording Division of the Clerk and Recorder's Office:

$11.00 for the first page and $5.00 for each additional page for recording standard sized documents (includes $1.00 surcharge per document per §30-10-421 C.R.S.)
Eliminates the additional charge of $5.00 per grantor/grantee entries into the Index

This fee adjustment will NOT impact the following documents: Plats, Land Survey Plats, Federal Tax Liens, State Tax Liens, UCC's, and Mining Documents. The fees for recording these documents will remain the same at $6.00 for the first page and $5.00 for each additional page.

Documents received by mail in our office on July 1, 2010 or thereafter will be charged this adjusted fee.

If you have additional questions, please contact our office at (970) 498-7860 or recording@larimer.org
