Niagara Clerk Recording Fees Change by Document Type

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. The page lists 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.

Use the Niagara County Clerk deeds page to identify the document type before checking the recording fee. Keep the deed, property address, fee information, search date, document number, and filing deadline in one packet.
