The Grand County Recording Department is responsible for recording and maintaining real estate documents, subdivision and condominium plats, and Uniform Commercial Code documents also know as UCC's. They also accept Land Survey Plats for Deposit.

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
