To provide for timely recording of documents and to be cost effective the Recorder of Deeds will retain any excess payment of fees up to $10.00 over statutory fees. The amount submitted shall be considered and receipted as payment for service. This will reduce rejections and allow for the priority of recording documents. Overpayment will not be refunded up to $10.00 per document unless a letter requesting rejection of the document is received with the document.


Fees over $10.00 of statutory fees will be rejected.
