NEW RECORDING FEES
NDCC 11-18-05.1.a and NDCC 11-18-05.1.b
EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2017
• $20.00 for documents with 1 to 6 pages
• $65.00 for documents with 7 to 25 pages
• $3.00 per page for any additional page over 25
• A 1 inch margin must still be provided on one side of each page or a $10.00 margin fee will be assessed, as it is today.
• Related document numbers, or book and page will allow for the first 10 listed free, and any additional related numbers will be at a fee of $3.00 per document number.
• The first 10 sections listed will be free and each additional section listed after 10 will be a fee of $1.00 per section listed.
• FONT SIZE NDCC 11-18-05.1.a.(2) “The printed, written, or typed words must be considered legible by the recorder before the page will be accepted for recording and, unless the form was issued by a government agency, must have a font size equal to or larger than ten point Calibri.”
• ALL DOCUMENTS MUST have a 3 inch [7.62 centimeters] margin across the top of the first page of each instrument for recording information.
o NDCC 11-18-05.1.a.4 “A space of at least 3 inches [7.62 centimeters] must be provided across the top of the first page of each instrument for the recorder’s recording information. If a space of at least 3 inches [7.62 centimeters] is not provided across the top of the first page, the recorder shall add a page, and an additional page charge must be levied in accordance with the fee structure.” ▪ Submitters can add a cover page with the title of the document at least 3 inches from the top of the page and this will serve as the first page. This would ensure the submitter knows exactly how many pages will be counted.
▪ If a recorder must add a page and a 6 page document results in 7 pages, the $65.00 fee will be charged.
▪ If the recorder adds a page to a 25 or more page document, the additional $3.00 per page will be assessed.
