January 26, 2009 - If you haven't noticed lately, many recording jurisdictions are increasing fees to place documents in the public record.

Here's a partial list of jurisdictions that have recently raised fees:

Alameda County - California
Stark County - Illinois
Dutchess County - New York
Allegheny County - Pennsylvania
Erie County - New York
Westchester County - New York

You don't have to track these changes yourself if you use the First American Equity Loan Services Recording Fee Calculator (RFC). The RFC is updated real-time with all recording jurisdiction fee changes.

Not only that, but we update it with new forms through links and pdf's, where available.

Let the RFC support your efforts to disclose proper fees to borrowers and keep up with recording requirements nationwide. See a full description of the RFC on this Web site, or ask your ELS salesperson for a demo.
