Gloucester County, New Jersey Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Gloucester County costs about $50 and a mortgage about $180 (a 2-page deed and a 16-page mortgage), per the Gloucester County Clerk, Land Records's fee schedule, effective 2003-07-21. New Jersey county clerk recording fees are set by state statute (N.J.S.A. 22A:4-4.1, in effect statewide since 7/21/2003) and are uniform for every county clerk, not set locally by Gloucester County: $40.00 for the first page of a deed and $10.00 for each additional page; $30.00 for the first page of a mortgage and $10.00 for each additional page. Gloucester County's own clerk site failed a TLS certificate check to automated fetch on 2026-09-22, so this cites Hunterdon County's published copy of the same statewide schedule, the same source used for Bergen and Somerset Counties elsewhere in this dataset.
