Prince William County, Virginia Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Prince William County costs about $18 and a mortgage about $32 (the deed falls in the '10 pages or less' tier ($18 flat); the mortgage falls in the '11-30 pages' tier ($32 flat)), per the Prince William County Circuit Court Clerk's fee schedule. Va. Code 17.1-275(A)(2) sets recording fees in flat page-count tiers, not a per-page rate: $18.00 for a document of 10 pages or less, $32.00 for 11-30 pages, $52.00 for 31 or more pages. This figure already bundles several designated sub-components the clerk must allocate (public-records preservation, courthouse maintenance, legal aid services, law libraries), but a separate $5.00 Technology Trust Fund fee (Va. Code 17.1-279) may apply on top of it and was not independently confirmed this session; Prince William County's own recordation-fees page returned a 403/blocked response to automated fetches. Set by state statute and the same statewide in every Virginia locality, including Prince William.
