- • Washington totals vary: the state folds legislative surcharges into a single flat per-document fee, and the legislature adjusts those surcharges periodically. Treat the amounts above as a current snapshot — we confirm the exact charge with the recorder before submitting, and your invoice reflects what the county actually collected.
- • A document containing two or more titles or requiring multiple indexing is charged for each title; additional page fees are charged only once per document, and a cover sheet counts as an additional page.
- • Real estate excise tax (REET) is collected separately on conveyances and requires a completed REET affidavit.
- • Paying the county by card adds a 2.35% convenience fee charged by the county's banking provider ($2 minimum).
Our flat service fee is billed on top of the county charges, itemized on one invoice.

Formatting rules that cause rejections here
- 1
Leave the top 3 inches of the first page clear for the recording label, or use a Washington State Recorder's Cover Sheet (RCW 65.04.045).
- 2
Leave 1-inch margins on the sides and bottom of the first page and on all four sides of every following page.
- 3
State the document title (or titles) on the first line beneath the top margin, along with grantor, grantee, legal description, and parcel number references.
- 4
Use 8-point type or larger, black ink on white 8½" x 11" or 8½" x 14" paper, with no attachments affixed to a page.
- 5
A document that does not meet margin and format standards can still be recorded for an extra $50 with a completed cover sheet and signed non-standard recording request — but illegible documents are refused outright.
- 6
Conveyances require a completed Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) affidavit; excise tax is collected separately from the recording fee.
