Notice of Increased Recording Fees Due to Legislative Action

 

Preservation Surcharge - Effective 1/1/2025, recording fees for most documents will increase by $5.00 due to the passage of SB 94 by the Ohio Legislature. The surcharge is to support the preservation and digitization of documents and ongoing costs incurred by a county recorder’s office. The new recording fee will be $39.00 for the first two pages and $8.00 for each additional page. See ORC 317.32

 

Half of the recording fees collected are required to be submitted to the state to the credit of the Ohio Housing Trust Fund.
