Burlington County, New Jersey Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Burlington County costs about $55 and a mortgage about $185 (a 2-page deed ($45 + $10) and a 16-page mortgage ($35 + 15 x $10)), per the Burlington County Clerk's fee schedule. Deed fee ($45 first page, including the summary/cover page; $10 each additional page) is confirmed directly against the county's own page. Mortgage fee is assumed to follow the same $35-first-page pattern confirmed in Union and Passaic Counties, since Burlington's own deed-focused page did not itemize a separate mortgage fee; treat the mortgage figure with less confidence than the deed figure.
