New State Law Adjusts Recording Fees in Gallatin County

Starting Oct. 1, the fee to record a document with the Gallatin County Clerk & Recorder will increase to $20 for the first page and $10 for each additional page. This change is part of Montana House Bill 192, signed into law earlier this year. The current $8-per-page fee remains in effect until Sept. 30 at 5 PM.

The additional non-standard charge for recording a document that does not meet the standards for recorded documents in MCA 7-4-2636 will remain at $10 per document.

Fees for filed documents such as liens, right to liens, UCC’s, plats and surveys, etc. will also not be changing.

For questions, contact the Clerk & Recorder’s Office at 406-582-3050 or clerkandrecorder@gallatin.mt.gov.
