Recording Fees

Colorado implemented a significant change to recording fees effective July 1, 2025. Beginning July 1, Colorado will implement a uniform flat recording fee of $40 per document, plus a combined $3 surcharge that includes $2 for the Electronic Recording Technology Board and $1 for the Clerk & Recorder technology fee. This brings the total to $43 per recorded document, regardless of page count.

Documentary fee: $.05 per $500 dollars of applicable sales consideration
The consideration amount must be clearly marked on the deed and the transfer declaration.

Some documents may be exempt from the State Documentary fee.

Document Formatting Requirements

All documents received for recording in the County Clerk's office should have a top margin of at least one inch; bottom and side margins should be at least one-half of an inch. The recording clerk may refuse a document if it does not conform to these guidelines.

Over-sized documents (larger than 8.5 x 14 inches) will result in additional fees. In order to avoid this, use 8.5 x 11 inch or 8.5 x 14 inch paper.

Submit a legible document with a readable font size.

The grantor must sign and acknowledge a real estate deed.

A return name and address should either be on the document, or provided with a self-addressed stamped envelope.


CONVEYANCES: Warranty deeds and quitclaim deeds, rules of construction

In Colorado, any person or body politic which is entitled to hold real estate, or any interest in real estate, is authorized to convey the same to another person or body politic.

Any person claiming right or title to lands, although he may be out of possession, and there may also be an adverse possession thereof, may sell, transfer, and convey his interest in the property in as full and complete a manner as if he were in actual possession of the lands and premises to be conveyed.

A deed for the conveyance of real property must contain the grantor's name and address, the consideration paid for the property, the grantee's name and address, and a legal description of the real property.

If a deed contains a newly created legal description of real property, it must also include the name and address of the person who created the legal description.

As an aid to identification, immediately following the legal description, the street address of the property (or other comparable identifying numbers) should be provided. The assessor's schedule number or parcel number should also be provided.

Any conveyance document presented for recording shall be accompanied by the Colorado Real Property Transfer Declaration (TD-1000).
