Predictable Recording Fees


Description
Document recording fees represent a very small percentage of the closing costs associated with a real estate transaction; however, if the recording fee is calculated incorrectly it may adversely affect the closing. Implementing predictable recording fees may reduce and eliminate unnecessary delays, rejections, and penalties.

States across the country have adopted some version of a predictable recording fee, and other states are actively exploring this option. The Property Records Industry Association (PRIA) endorses the predictable recording fee concept and encourages states to evaluate this approach.
