Greene County, Missouri Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Greene County costs about $27 and a mortgage about $69 (a 2-page deed and a 16-page deed of trust; deeds and deeds of trust are billed at the same standard document rate in Greene County's schedule), per the Greene County Recorder of Deeds (Springfield)'s fee schedule. Greene County Recorder of Deeds' own published fee schedule: $24.00 for the first page and $3.00 for each additional page for standard real estate documents including deeds and deeds of trust/mortgages. Missouri's base statute, RSMo 59.310, sets a floor of $5 for the first page/$3 each additional page; individual county recorders (like Greene, similar to Jackson County's $23/$3 confirmed elsewhere in this dataset) layer on additional statutory per-document surcharges (records fund, technology fund, etc.) that bring the actual charged rate above the bare statutory floor, confirmed directly on Greene County's own current fee page.

County transfer tax
Missouri levies no real estate transfer tax at all, state or local (see data/transfer/missouri.json, has_tax false), the Missouri Supreme Court (Hillside Enterprises v. State) has read the state constitution to prohibit any transfer or documentary tax on real estate conveyances. Greene County therefore has no local transfer, recordation or documentary tax; recording fees above are the only county-set closing cost. Missouri transfer tax →
