Every state and county are different in their recordation fees. In one county I record in, here in Maryland, it is $6.60 per $1,000 of the mortgage PLUS $40 if the deed of trust is over 9 pages long. Every county here charges differently. If MA is just charging $175 per mortgage, they definitley do not make the money that MD is bringing in. I have seen them as high as $6,000 in recordation fees here. |
