Marion County, Oregon Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Marion County costs about $91 and a mortgage about $161 (a 2-page deed and a 16-page deed of trust), per the Marion County Clerk, Recording Division's fee schedule. Marion County Clerk's own published Recording fee schedule: $86.00 for the first page and $5.00 for each additional page, identically for a deed and a deed of trust/mortgage, the same figures confirmed directly on Multnomah County's fee page elsewhere in this dataset, suggesting Oregon's larger counties have converged on this rate even though the fee itself is set at the county rather than state level (ORS 205.320 sets a statutory maximum a county recorder may charge, not a single uniform figure).
