Missouri sale and recording rules
Missouri deed-recording charges and closing costs
Missouri’s Constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on a sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Deed recording is separate: recorders charge $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees set by state law. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Read the Missouri Constitution, Article X, Section 25 ↗, RSMo §59.310 (recorder’s fee per page) ↗, RSMo §59.319 (recorder user fee) ↗, and RSMo §59.800 (additional recording fee) ↗.
