Fulton County recording fees

County charges verified August 2026 against the Fulton County Clerk of Superior Court fee schedule. Counties change fees without notice — we confirm the exact amount on your invoice before anything is submitted.

• • Georgia moved to a flat $25 filing fee for most real estate documents under HB 288, so page count does not change the cost.
• • A PT-61 real estate transfer tax form must be e-filed and the tax paid before a deed can be recorded.
• • Intangible recording tax applies to security deeds and is capped by statute on large loans.

Our flat service fee is billed on top of the county charges, itemized on one invoice.
