Tulsa County, Oklahoma Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Tulsa County costs about $20 and a mortgage about $48 (a 2-page deed and a 16-page deed of trust, both conforming documents), per the Tulsa County Clerk's fee schedule. Oklahoma sets recording fees uniformly statewide under 28 O.S. Section 32: $8.00 for the first page of a deed, mortgage or other instrument plus a $10.00 per-instrument preservation/archiving fee ($18.00 combined first-page total), and $2.00 for each additional page. A nonconforming document (does not meet formatting standards) costs $25.00 for the first page and $10.00 for each additional page instead.
