Larimer County, Colorado Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Larimer County costs about $43 and a mortgage about $43 (flat $43.00 per document, regardless of page count), per the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder's fee schedule, effective 2025-07-01. Colorado's recording fee statute (C.R.S. 30-1-103, as amended by HB24-1269) went flat statewide effective July 1, 2025: a uniform $40.00 base fee per document, plus a $3.00 statewide surcharge ($2.00 Electronic Recording Technology Board fee + $1.00 Clerk & Recorder technology fee), for $43.00 total per document (deed or mortgage alike), regardless of page count. This applies identically in every Colorado county, including Larimer, whose own Clerk and Recorder page confirms the July 1, 2025 flat-fee switch; the exact combined figure is cross-checked against Douglas County's and Weld County's identical published $43 fee-schedule documents.

County transfer tax

Larimer County pays only the tiny statewide Documentary Fee ($0.01 per $100) already in data/transfer/colorado.json. Colorado transfer tax →
