Recording fees and transfer taxes, county by county.
What it costs to record a deed, and what the realty transfer tax is, in each of the 91 Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware counties where Precision Leverage Solutions has published verified figures. Every figure below comes from the county's own published fee schedule or ordinance, listed at the bottom of this page. Fees change, so confirm with the issuing office before a figure goes onto a settlement statement.
How to read these numbers
Three things cause most of the errors we see on settlement statements:
- The recording fee is not one number. In Pennsylvania the published fee is a base that covers a set number of pages, names, and tax parcels, typically four pages, four names, and one parcel. Extra pages, extra names, and extra parcels are each billed on top. In Delaware the fee is charged per page from the first page. In New Jersey the counties publish a first-page price and charge per page after that.
- Transfer tax and recording fee are unrelated charges. Transfer tax is a percentage of consideration owed to the Commonwealth, the municipality, and the school district in Pennsylvania, or to the State in Delaware. The recording fee is what the county charges to put the document on record. Quoting one and forgetting the other understates closing costs.
- Pennsylvania's UPI step is not priced the same way everywhere. Most Pennsylvania counties we work in require UPI (Uniform Parcel Identifier) certification from the assessment office before the Recorder will accept the deed, and where that is a separate errand it costs roughly $10 to $20 per parcel and means the deed visits two offices in sequence. But check before you add it as a line: Cumberland's published deed fee already includes the $20 UPI where one is required, Chester's already includes one UPI, Berks requires UPI with no separate charge for the first parcel, and Lancaster publishes no UPI requirement at all. Adding $20 to a Cumberland or Chester quote overstates it. Where UPI is a separate step, that sequencing rather than the fee is the most common reason a Pennsylvania recording slips a day.
Pennsylvania
Several of these changed in late 2025 or early 2026 with the Act 45 of 2025 increase to the Judicial Computer Project fee, which is why the effective dates cluster. Lancaster is the one row without an effective date: the Recorder's downloadable fee bill still shows the pre-Act 45 figure of $70.25 while the live fee page shows $71.25, a $1.00 JCP difference rather than a discrepancy. $71.25 is the current number.

New Jersey
New Jersey has no Recorder of Deeds. Deeds record with the County Clerk, or with the Register of Deeds and Mortgages in Essex and Hudson. New Jersey also has no percentage realty transfer tax of the Pennsylvania kind: the seller pays a graduated Realty Transfer Fee set by the State, plus a graduated Percent Fee above $1 million that replaced the mansion tax in July 2025. The county fee below is the recording charge only.

Delaware
Delaware transfer tax is the highest of the three states and is normally split between buyer and seller. Delaware counties also price recording per page rather than per document, so a long deed costs materially more than a short one.
| County | Realty transfer tax | Deed recording fee | Recorder of Deeds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent County | 4 percent countywide, split evenly between seller and buyer | $10 per page for a deed plus a $36 document fee and $5 per tax parcel, on schedule KCROD-12.0 effective October 28, 2025 | Kent County Recorder of Deeds 302-744-2314 |

Counties where a single rate would mislead you
Most counties in this region are a flat 2 percent and you can quote them without looking anything up. These are the exceptions, and each one is a place where using the countywide number produces a wrong settlement statement.

Each dot is a published total rate; the bar spans the range inside the county. New Jersey is not shown because it uses a graduated Realty Transfer Fee, not a percentage transfer tax.

Allegheny County, PA: 2.0% to 5.0% depending on municipality and school district
Allegheny publishes a full municipal and school district rate table, which most counties do not. The City of Pittsburgh is 3 percent city plus 1 percent Pittsburgh School District plus 1 percent Commonwealth for a 5 percent total, the highest combined realty transfer tax in Pennsylvania. The county rate table also carries a row pairing the City of Pittsburgh with the Baldwin-Whitehall School District at one half of one percent for the school district, so verify the school district and not just the municipality. McKeesport City, Penn Hills, and Mount Oliver Borough are 3 percent. Mt. Lebanon, Bethel Park, Monroeville, McCandless, Upper St. Clair, and Whitehall are 2.5 percent.
Source: the county, municipal, and Commonwealth schedules listed under Where these figures come from.
Philadelphia County, PA: 4.578%
Philadelphia charges 3.578 percent and the Commonwealth charges 1 percent, applied to the actual consideration. The tax is due when the deed is presented for recording. Section 19-1403 of the Philadelphia Code makes it payable at the earlier of presentation for recording or 30 days from acceptance of the document, and the City's own page describes the 30 days two different ways, so the safe practice is payment in full at closing. Custom splits the tax evenly between buyer and seller, but that is custom and not law: the City may collect the entire amount from either party. The tax also reaches long-term leases of 30 years or more, easements, life estates, and entity transfers, and penalties run as high as 50 percent of the tax due. Property that is willed is exempt; property purchased from an estate is not.
Berks County, PA: 2.0% outside Reading, 5.0% in the City of Reading
The Recorder of Deeds fee schedule effective November 14, 2025 states that the transfer tax rate is 5 percent in the City of Reading and 2 percent in all other Berks municipalities. The City publishes the Reading breakdown as 3.5 percent city, 1 percent state, and 0.5 percent school district, in effect since January 15, 2006. Exeter Township's section 340-43 imposes 1 percent with an automatic halving clause, and Kutztown Borough's section 200-2 is a flat 1 percent with no halving clause, both totalling 2 percent with the state share. One recording trap: the Recorder requires that Wyomissing Borough deeds specify Wyomissing or Wilson School District, because the borough straddles both and a deed that does not name the right one is rejected.

Chester County, PA: 2.0% in most municipalities, 3.5% in Coatesville
The Recorder of Deeds states the transfer tax rate is 1 percent local, with exceptions for Malvern and Tredyffrin at 1.5 percent and Coatesville at 2.5 percent. Adding the 1 percent state tax produces totals of 2 percent, 2.5 percent, and 3.5 percent. Coatesville rose from 2 percent local to 2.5 percent local effective January 1, 2026, making it the highest total in the county. Do not rely on the City of Coatesville's own website, which still publishes a 3.0 percent total from a page last modified in 2023 and is contradicted by the county collector of record.
Delaware County, PA: 2.0% in most municipalities, up to 3.0%
The standard is 1 percent local plus 1 percent state. Only four municipalities exceed the standard local rate. Upper Providence Township is 2 percent local for a 3 percent total, the highest in the county. Chester City, Upper Darby Township, and Radnor Township are each 1.5 percent local for a 2.5 percent total. Chester City's 1.5 percent took effect September 1, 2023 and Upper Darby's took effect January 1, 2022 under Code Section 489-57A. The Recorder of Deeds collects this tax as statutory agent, retaining 1 percent commission on the Commonwealth distribution and 2 percent on the municipal distribution.

New Castle County, DE: 4 percent in most of the county, 3 percent where no local tax applies
Under 30 Del. C. § 5402(a) the state rate is 2.5 percent where the county or municipality has enacted the full 1.5 percent local tax, and the statute directs that the tax be apportioned equally between grantor and grantee. The Division of Revenue's RTT-TAX instructions state the same 4 percent total apportioned equally, so each side normally pays 2 percent, made up of 1.25 percent state and 0.75 percent local. A qualifying first time buyer's share is reduced by 0.5 percent of the lesser of the property value or $400,000 under § 5402(c), a maximum of $2,000, and New Castle County adds its own 0.75 percent reduction capped at $3,000. Arden, Ardentown and Ardencroft have no local transfer tax, so deeds there fall under the 3 percent state fallback rate in § 5402(a) rather than the usual 4 percent total.
Each side normally pays 2 percent, made up of 1.25 percent state and 0.75 percent local. Arden, Ardentown and Ardencroft fall under the 3 percent state fallback rate.

Where these figures come from
Each figure traces to a county, municipal, or Commonwealth source. These were verified during the county research in July and August 2026, rechecked in September 2026, extended to every county in October 2026, and each county's own page carries its specific citation list. One recurring hazard when you check these yourself: several counties keep a downloadable fee PDF alongside a current web page and the PDF is a revision behind. Burlington and Lancaster both do this today. Where the two disagree, the web page is the live figure. The Monmouth and Middlesex schedules carry old effective dates (2003 and 2019 respectively) that appear to be genuine rather than stale, but they are the likeliest candidates for a quiet revision, so confirm those two by phone on a live file. Fee schedules and ordinances are revised more often than they are archived, and several Pennsylvania counties changed their deed fee in late 2025 and early 2026. If you are relying on a number here for a live file, confirm it with the issuing office, and tell us if you find a discrepancy so we can correct the page.

Who this page is for
Precision Leverage Solutions handles the recording office and the municipal steps on every file we coordinate, so agents do not have to keep this page open. We work exclusively with Keller Williams agents across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. See transaction coordination for what that covers, or the rate card for what it costs.

FAQ
Fee questions, answered.
What are the recording fees in Burlington County, NJ?
The Burlington County Clerk charges $45 for the first page of a deed and $10 for each additional page, per the Clerk's requirements for a recordable deed. Note that the Clerk also still posts an older recording fee cheat sheet showing a one-page deed at $40; the requirements page is the current figure. The Realty Transfer Fee due from the seller is separate from the recording charge and is set by the State, not the county.
What are the recording fees in Gloucester County, NJ?
The Gloucester County Clerk, Record Room, charges $30 for the first page of a deed. As in every New Jersey county, the seller's Realty Transfer Fee is a separate State charge calculated on consideration, not a county recording fee.
What does the Berks County Recorder of Deeds charge to record a deed?
$88.00 for a deed of up to four pages, on the fee schedule effective November 14, 2025. The base fee includes one tax parcel; each additional parcel is $15.00 and each additional page is $4.00. Berks realty transfer tax is 2 percent outside Reading and 5 percent in the City of Reading.
What are Bucks County recording fees?
$82.75 for a deed of any form, effective January 1, 2026, covering up to four pages, four names, and one tax parcel. Additional pages are $4.00, names $1.00, and parcels $10.00. The REV-183 statement of value does not count as a fee page in Bucks, which is a local quirk worth knowing.
What are Bergen County recording fees?
The Bergen County Clerk, Registry Counter, charges $45 for the first page of a deed plus $10 for each additional page.
What is the realty transfer tax in Allegheny County?
It ranges from 2 percent to 5 percent depending on the municipality and the school district, and Allegheny is one of the few Pennsylvania counties that publishes a full rate table. The City of Pittsburgh is 5 percent in total, the highest combined realty transfer tax in Pennsylvania. The county rate table also carries a City of Pittsburgh row paired with the Baldwin-Whitehall School District at one half of one percent for the school district, so verify the school district for the parcel.
What is the transfer tax in Pittsburgh?
5 percent of the sale price in total: 3 percent City of Pittsburgh, 1 percent Pittsburgh School District, and 1 percent Commonwealth. Verify the school district rather than just the municipality, because the county rate table also carries a City of Pittsburgh row paired with the Baldwin-Whitehall School District, where the school share is one half of one percent.
What is the realty transfer tax in Montgomery County, PA?
2 percent, being 1 percent to the Commonwealth and 1 percent local. Montgomery does not publish a per-municipality rate table, so for any municipality other than one that publishes its own ordinance rate, confirm with the Recorder of Deeds rather than relying on a third-party rate chart.
Who pays the transfer tax, the buyer or the seller?
In Pennsylvania the statute makes grantor and grantee jointly and severally liable and the contract normally splits it, though some municipalities place statutory liability on one party: Harrisburg places it on the buyer. In Delaware the 4 percent is normally split evenly between buyer and seller. In New Jersey the Realty Transfer Fee and the graduated Percent Fee above $1 million both fall on the seller.
Why is the recording fee different in every county?
Pennsylvania and Delaware counties set their own recording fee schedules on top of statutory surcharges, and they revise them on their own timetables. Pennsylvania fees also moved in late 2025 with the Act 45 of 2025 increase to the Judicial Computer Project fee, which is why several counties on this page show effective dates in November and December 2025 and January 2026. Third-party fee charts are frequently a revision behind.
