Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Jefferson Parish costs about $110 and a mortgage about $210 (a 2-page deed falls in the '1-5 pages' tier ($105 + $5 LCRAA = $110, if recorded only in the conveyance records); a 16-page mortgage falls in the '6-25 pages' tier ($205 + $5 LCRAA = $210, if recorded only in the mortgage records)), per the Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court, Mortgage & Conveyance Office's fee schedule. Jefferson 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, per the Clerk's own published fee schedule, plus a statewide $5.00 Louisiana Clerks' Remote Access Authority (LCRAA) fee per recording. Includes one certified copy and indexing of up to 10 names ($5/name beyond that); oversized pages (larger than 8.5x14) add $20/page. If a single instrument must be recorded in BOTH the conveyance and mortgage records, the fee is assessed separately for each, roughly doubling the total (the same 'multiple designations' rule seen in East Baton Rouge Parish).
