Webb County, Texas Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Webb County costs about $30 and a mortgage about $86 (a 2-page deed and a 16-page deed of trust), per the Webb County Clerk (Laredo)'s fee schedule. Texas Local Government Code 118.011/118.013 sets the base real-property recording fee at $5 for the first page and $4 for each additional page. County commissioners courts layer on statutorily authorized add-ons (records management fee, county records archive fee, courthouse security fee) that Texas county clerks near-universally adopt at the combined maximum, bringing the total to $26 for the first page and $4 for each additional page, the same composite already confirmed for Harris, Williamson and Hidalgo counties in this dataset. Webb County's own Clerk page (co.webb.tx.us) could not be reached this session (connection failure on automated fetch) and could not be independently confirmed; this figure reflects the statewide-standard composite, not a Webb-specific verification.
