Oklahoma County, Oklahoma Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Oklahoma County costs about $20 and a mortgage about $48 (a 2-page deed and a 16-page mortgage), per the Oklahoma County Clerk, Registrar of Deeds's fee schedule, effective 1997-07-01. Oklahoma County Clerk's own published ROD Fee Schedule: $18.00 for the first page of a deed, mortgage, or other instrument, plus $2.00 for each additional page of the same instrument. This total already includes a $10.00 preservation fee charged on each instrument under Oklahoma Statute Title 28 Sec. 32C (i.e. an $8.00 base filing fee plus the $10.00 preservation fee = $18.00). The underlying fee statute (28 O.S. Sec. 32) sets recorder fees for all Oklahoma county clerks, so this schedule is very likely uniform statewide, though only Oklahoma County's own page was checked directly. A nonconforming document (one that doesn't meet the state's recording-format requirements) instead pays $25 first page / $10 each additional page.
