Seminole County, Florida Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Seminole County costs about $19 and a mortgage about $138 (a 2-page deed ($10 + $8.50) and a 16-page mortgage ($10 + 15 x $8.50), each assuming 4 or fewer names so no additional-name indexing fee applies), per the Seminole County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller's fee schedule. Florida's uniform statutory recording-fee schedule (Fla. Stat. Sec. 28.24): $10.00 first page, $8.50 each additional page, $1.00 per name beyond 4. Seminole County's own fee page matches the statewide schedule exactly, with no local add-on. Documentary stamp tax (0.70% deeds, 0.35% on mortgages/notes) and intangible tax (0.20% on mortgages) are separate ad valorem taxes collected at recording, not part of this flat recording fee.
