Recorder Fee Schedule
Standard Fee Adjustments Effective August 28, 2026, Under Missouri SB 938
Following the passage of Missouri Senate Bill 938, a flat $2.00 statutory fee increase will take effect statewide on August 28, 2026, for recording documents, marriage licences, and land surveys/plats.
Recorders of Deeds across Missouri will update their office policies to comply with these statutory changes, which will take effect August 28, 2026.
The Recorders Association of Missouri and all county Recorders are committed to upholding the statutory requirements of their offices, and these changes will be implemented promptly upon the law's effective date.
