RECORDING FEES (Sections 27361 et. seq. Gov. Code) The fee for recording and indexing most documents, such as a deed, trust deed, reconveyance, declaration of homestead, etc., is: $3.00 for the first page and $1.00 for each additional page or fraction. A page is one side of a sheet 8Yz" by 14" or smaller. PENALTY PRINT (Section 27361 Gov. Code) An added charge of $1.00 is made for each page upon which penalty print appears. This consists of printing which is spaced either more than 9 lines per vertical inch or more than 22 characters and spaces per inch meas- ured horizontally for not less than 3 inches in one sentence. COMBINED DOCUMENTS (Section 27361.1 Gov. Code) When two or more documents are serially incorporated into one form or sheet they will be considered as two or more separate documents. A base recording fee will be charged of $3.00 for the first page and $1.00 for each additional page for the entire document, plus $3.00 for each additional document title to be indexed. For example: A Deed of Trust and a Request for Notice of Default, combined on one side of one sheet. A Substitution of Trustee and a Reconveyance, combined on two sides of a sheet. Base Fee $3.00 Additional title 3.00 Recording Fee $6.00 Base Fee (2 pages) $4.00 Additional title 3.00 Recording Fee $7.00 Name of Parties in Releasing Documents (Section 27288.1 Gov. Code) A release of any lien upon real or personal property must set forth the name of the obligor or obligors whose obligation is the basis of the lien being released or the document cannot be accepted for recording. A release showing "John Brown, et al" would not be acceptable. The "et al" cannot be indexed. The purpose of this requirement is to always have a name to index in a releasing document to continue the chain of title in the grantor -grantee indexes maintained for the public's use in the County Recorders office. Additional Indexing Fee (Section 27361.2 Gov. Code) An additional fee of $1.00 must be charged for each reference to a previously recorded document other than the first such reference made in the document submitted for recording that will require additional indexing to give notice required by law. FILING FEES (Section 27380 Gov. Code) The fee for filing, indexing and keeping each paper not required by law to be recorded, such as a building contract, is $3.00. UCC FILING - Finance Statements (Section 9403 et. seq. Commercial Code) The fee for filing, indexing, and furnishing filing data for an original, continuation, termination, release or assignment on a form conforming to standards prescribed by the Secretary of State is $3.00. If a statement otherwise conforms to requirements but is not on a standard form, the fee is $4.00. A filed financing statement is effective for a period of five years from the date of filing. A continuation, therefore, may not be filed any sooner than six months prior to the lapse date of the original filing.
