Weld County, Colorado Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Weld County costs about $43 and a mortgage about $43 (flat $43.00 per document, regardless of page count), per the Weld 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. Weld County's own site and local press (Colorado Community Media, 7/1/2025) both confirm the $43 flat rate replacing its old $13-first-page/$5-each-additional schedule; identical to Douglas County's and Boulder County's published figures.

County transfer tax
Colorado's TABOR amendment bars any new local real estate transfer tax; only a small handful of mountain resort towns with a transfer tax predating TABOR (Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, Crested Butte, Telluride, Snowmass Village, Frisco, Gunnison, Avon, Winter Park, Ophir) are grandfathered, and none of them sit in Weld County. Weld County pays only the tiny statewide Documentary Fee ($0.01 per $100) already in data/transfer/colorado.json. Colorado transfer tax →
