Henry County, Georgia Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Henry County costs about $27 and a mortgage about $55 (a 2-page deed and a 16-page security deed (deed of trust/mortgage equivalent)), per the Henry County Clerk of Superior Court's fee schedule. Georgia recording fees are set by state statute (O.C.G.A. Sec. 15-6-77), uniform for every superior court clerk in the state including Henry County, not set locally: $25.00 for the first page and $2.00 for each additional page, for a deed or a security deed alike. Henry County's own Clerk of Superior Court site returned a blocked response to automated fetches this session (302/403), so this is sourced directly to the statewide statute, matching the already-verified figures for Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb and Gwinnett counties in this same dataset.
