- • Michigan charges a flat first-page fee with a small per-page add-on, so page count rarely drives the cost.
- • A $5 per page surcharge applies to documents that miss Michigan's margin, font, or paper-size standards.
- • Transfer taxes are calculated on the sale price and are collected in addition to the recording fee.
Our flat service fee is billed on top of the county charges, itemized on one invoice.
