Saratoga County, New York Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Saratoga County costs about $55 and a mortgage about $125 (a 2-page deed ($45 base recording fee incl. cover sheet + $5 x 2 pages = $55) and a 16-page mortgage ($45 + $5 x 16 pages = $125)), per the Saratoga County Clerk, Land Records's fee schedule. Saratoga County's recording fee is a $45.00 base fee (which includes the cover sheet) plus $5.00 per page, same for a deed and a mortgage; modeled here as deed_first_page/mortgage_first_page = $45 base + $5 for page one = $50, then $5.00 for each additional page. Deed filings separately require a TP-584 transfer tax affidavit and an RP-5217 equalization form (not recording fees, not counted here).
