Fees for this service are set by state statute. Here's what to expect in Calhoun County.
🏠§ 331.604 ↗
Iowa Recording Fees — Iowa Code § 331.604
Recorded by the Calhoun County Recorder · the same in every county
$7.00first page of a one-transaction document · $5.00 each page after
Three parts, all in § 331.604: $5.00“for each page or fraction of a page” (subsection 1), and $1.00 for the records management fund and $1.00 for the electronic transaction fund, each charged once per recorded transaction (subsections 2(a) and 3(b)). A page carrying more than one transaction is charged for each.
A deed costs more — the auditor's transfer fee
A document that conveys real estate also pays the county auditor's transfer fee: $5.00 “for each separate real estate transaction”, and no more than $50 for one instrument (§ 331.507(2)(a)). The recorder collects it with the recording fee (§ 331.602(32)). So a one-page deed of one parcel is $12.00 — the figure Calhoun County's schedule is likely to print.
