Other charges

StatewideIf an instrument contains more than 10 descriptions, $2 for each additional description. Recording any plat: $50 for each sheet and $2 for each lot or unit designation. Redacting personal information: $5. A county recorder may not charge more than one recording fee for each instrument, regardless of whether the instrument bears multiple descriptive titles or includes one or more attachments. Copy fees are set by the county legislative body. Counties of the second through sixth class add $5 to each of these fees (Utah Code § 17-71-407(3)(b)), so most counties charge $45 per document; Salt Lake and Utah Counties charge $40.

Paying the office

All payments must be made when documents are presented for recording. If for any reason an error is detected after recording, fees will not be waived for re-recording.

Transfer tax

No transfer tax. None is collected when a document is recorded. (statewide)
