As local governments look for any and every source of revenue, the cost of recording a Colorado quitclaim deed is on the rise.  It is not just Colorado quitclaim deeds that are subject to the fee increase.  Colorado warranty deeds, Colorado special warranty deeds and all other documents with multiple grantors or grantees are seeing an increase.

Recording Fees Increase: Eagle County, Garfield County, Others?

We first received notice of the increase from Eagle County, Colorado.  Pursuant to C.R.S. 30-1-103(4), an extra fee is being tacked on to Colorado quitclaim deeds containing multiple grantors or grantees.  This is $5.00 PER every additional grantor or grantee.  Recently, Garfield County, Colorado has joined the increase in fees on Colorado quitclaim deeds.  We suspect that other counties may have already raised their recording fees, but we have not received an official notice.

Always Double Check With the County Prior to Filing

For access to the recent letter from Garfield County containing examples of the recording fee increases on Colorado quitclaim deeds, please log into your account with DeedMonkey.   We advise to always call the county to confirm the filing fee BEFORE mailing your Colorado quitclaim deed.  This is a good practice for all filings including Florida quitclaim deeds and quitclaim deeds for any state.
