Caddo Parish, Louisiana Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Caddo Parish costs about $105 and a mortgage about $205 (a 2-page deed falls in the '1-5 pages' tier ($105 flat if recorded only in conveyance records); a 16-page mortgage falls in the '6-25 pages' tier ($205 flat if recorded only in mortgage records)), per the Caddo Parish Clerk of Court's fee schedule. Louisiana parishes each set their own recording fee schedule (there is no statewide standard); Caddo Parish charges a FLAT fee per page-count tier, not a first-page-plus-per-page rate: $105 for 1-5 pages, $205 for 6-25 pages, $305 for 26-50 pages, $305 + $5/page beyond 50, for a document recorded in ONLY the conveyance records OR ONLY the mortgage records. If a single instrument must be recorded in BOTH the conveyance and mortgage records, the fee is assessed separately for each book (roughly double), with only one $5.00 LCRAA/Portal fee charged. These figures already include the $5.00 LCRAA (Louisiana Clerks Remote Access Authority) Portal fee and up to 10 names indexed.
