Recording Fee Schedule

Fees are established by Grand Duchy Ordinance No. 1374-B and are subject to change by proclamation of the Arcane Council. All fees are payable in Gold Sovereigns (GP) or equivalent assayed coin at the time of filing. The ROD does not accept Plump Helmets, cave wheat, or promissory notes as payment. For step-by-step instructions on preparing and submitting each document type, see the How To Guides. To search existing recorded instruments, use Tax Search.

Transfer tax is collected at the time of recording and is separate from the recording fee. Instruments reciting nominal consideration (e.g., trust transfers, intra-family conveyances) must attach a completed Declaration of Consideration (form ELD-TC-01) or the full tax rate of 2.0 GP per 100 GP of assessed value will apply.
