Recording a Document
Learn how to submit correct documentation and prevent a rejected document when coming to the Recording Office.
NOTE: A one inch (1") margin at the top and bottom of the document with a 1/2 inch margin on the left and right side are required per Colorado State Statute 30-10-406 (3) (a).
Disclaimer: Although we will record any document presented by a customer, we are unable to provide legal advice as to what type of document is needed, or how to complete a document. We recommend contacting your own legal counsel. Additionally, once a document has been recorded, it cannot be reversed. Please use caution when recording.
Recording Flat Fee Changes Effective July 1
The Colorado Legislature mandated this change through HB24-1269 which applies to all recording offices across the state. Previously, many documents filed with clerk’s offices were charged per page, leading to uncertainty for filers and, in some cases, higher costs. It also required additional staff time to count pages and reconcile discrepancies. The new flat fee structure is being implemented statewide to provide a more predictable filing cost and streamline the recording process.
