Hinds County, Mississippi Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Hinds County costs about $26 and a mortgage about $37 (a 2-page deed falls within the first-5-pages-included band ($26.00 flat); a 16-page deed of trust (Mississippi's fee schedule groups deeds of trust/mortgages with deeds under the same fee row) pays the same $26.00 base plus $1.00 for each of the 11 pages beyond the included 5, for $37.00), per the Hinds County Chancery Clerk, Land Records's fee schedule, effective 2020-06-29. Confirmed directly via the Mississippi Chancery Clerks' Association's statewide recording-fee schedule (required by Miss. Code Ann. Sec. 25-7-9, effective 6/29/2020, hosted on Hinds County's own site): 'DEEDS: Warranty, Timber, Quitclaim, Trustee's Deeds, Deeds of Trust, Leases...Includes indexing for the first 5 pages, $26.00 (Archive Fee counties)' and '$1.00 EACH additional page more than 5'. Hinds County is on the schedule's list of counties that collect the $1.00 Archive Fee (vs. $25.00/$1.00 for Non-Archive Fee counties), so $26.00 is the correct Hinds County figure. Mississippi does not distinguish a deed from a deed of trust/mortgage in this fee table, both are billed identically. This schedule is set by state statute and mostly uniform statewide, with the one-dollar difference being whether a given county has separately adopted the Archive Fee.
