Overcharging for a clerical function seems a good way to sour the whole experience for the client.
Whether or not recording is mandatory would have some bearing on the matter?
I think an attorney would only charge their time plus the fee.
A 50 flat fee seems fair, 15 minutes at 200 per.
Not sure why I am chiming in on this, I have never written an invoice. ???? ?ÿ

Here in Ohio there's no standard, some counties require a new split be recorded some filed at the tax map office with no recording fee. What ever cost are listed as a reimbursable expense. What ever time we have in recording/filing gets charged out hourly as project management.
I charge $125 just to record the plat.?ÿ

I charge $250 to record a plat.?ÿ The county fees are $21, my time and liability have a cost attached to them. If we are talking a subdivision I pass those costs along to the client.?ÿ
Holy cow,?ÿ now that is what I'm talking about. I guess if you can get it by all means do it. Are you talking about any old single lot plat??ÿ
And I was sorta feeling a like $30 might be a stretch but maybe I will go to $50. This is a service that very few know how to do so why not charge for it.
That is for any single lot. I have a couple of real estate attorneys that prefer them recorded for closings, people don't seem to mind if it comes out at closing. If I am subdividing a property the price goes up. Typically I charge $400 for the first lot and $300 per lot after, plus whatever city/county fees are involved.
