Louisiana deed-recording costs

The parish clerk's basic statutory fee is $100 to record a document of one to five pages. Longer documents, extra indexed names, and other services can add charges. If your sale includes a deed, ask the title or closing company which recording services apply and to confirm the document-specific amount.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
