Niagara County deed recording costs depend on the document packet, more than the sale price. An original deed must be completed, signed, notarized, and include a legal description. A deed also needs TP-584 and RP-5217 forms. Transfer tax at $4 per $1,000 of consideration, a $36 recording fee for a one-side deed, $3 for each additional printed page, a $5 TP-584 filing fee, and RP-5217 charges based on property type.
Count pages and forms before sending a deed packet to Lockport, and check the Clerk page again if the document type is not a standard deed.
