Documents filed in the Register of Deeds office must be eligible for recording. When you leave an original instrument with us it is recorded, scanned and microfilmed by the most modern methods ensuring safety and replacement at any time. It is indexed and returned promptly by U.S. Mail unless otherwise noted.
For entering and recording any deed, mortgage, lis pendens or other instruments:
- Recording Fee (this includes the $4.00 state survey & remonumentation fee) - $30.00
- Documents that release or assign multiple libers and pages due to the original lien or mortgage being re-recorded should show all associated libers and pages on the discharge or assignment. The liber and page of the original recording is included in the recording fee. There is a $3 charge for each additional referenced liber and page.
- Copies - $1.00 per page
- Certification of Copy - $5.00 per document
Warranty deeds, land contracts or any deed that contains a covenant of warranty must be tax certified at the Oakland County Treasurer's Office. If you find it convenient to use the mail to send us documents for recording, we will service them for you by obtaining a Treasurer's Tax Certificate, attaching revenue stamps, etc. There is a $5.00 fee for the Treasurer's Tax Certificate that must be included in your recording fee payment.
This Act provides that on all written instruments which transfer any interest in real property where the value or consideration exceeds $99.99 transfer tax will be imposed. The tax is computed upon the full consideration of the transfer. Documents where the value of the consideration is less than $100.00 are exempt. For other exemptions see the appropriate Act. The reason for the exemption must be shown on the face of the document. County transfer tax is payable at the rate of $.55 per $500.00 ($1.10 per $1,000) consideration. State transfer tax is payable at the rate of $3.75 per $500.00 ($7.50 per $1,000) consideration.
