Lubbock County, Texas Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Lubbock County costs about $29 and a mortgage about $85 (a 2-page deed and a 16-page deed of trust), per the Lubbock County Clerk, Real Property Records's fee schedule. Texas sets county clerk recording fees uniformly statewide under Local Government Code Sec. 118.011: $25.00 for the first page and $4.00 for each additional page for a warranty deed, deed of trust/mortgage, or most other land-record instruments alike. This is the same schedule confirmed directly on Collin County's, Harris County's and Travis County's published fee pages elsewhere in this dataset; Lubbock County's own Clerk page could not be reached by automated fetch (DNS/connection failure) on 2026-09-22, so this figure rests on the statewide statute, which every Texas county clerk applies uniformly.
