Plymouth County, Massachusetts Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Plymouth County costs about $155 and a mortgage about $205 (flat $155.00 to record a deed and flat $205.00 to record a mortgage, regardless of page count), per the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds's fee schedule. Massachusetts sets registry of deeds recording fees uniformly by statute (M.G.L. c. 262 Sec. 38, including the FY2020 Community Preservation Act fee increase) for every registry, so the same flat $155 deed and $205 mortgage fee, which includes all applicable surcharges and is not per page, applies at every Massachusetts registry, Plymouth included.
