LEGAL DOCUMENT PREPARATION SERVICES

California Senate Bill 2 was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown on September 29, 2017 and will take effect January 1, 2018. It creates a $75 fee on certain real estate transaction documents when they are recorded, capped at $225 per transaction. Although entities are generally exempt from recording fee payments under Government Code sections 6103 and 27383, they are not exempt from recording fee payments for releases of liens, encumbrances or other notices. That fact led many county recorder offices to apply the $75 fee when those types of documents were recorded. Final fee will include: counties fees and county taxes (such as SB2 and transfer taxes). Final fees are unknown until a document has been recorded. Agreeing to this means you acknowledge that the price may change and you may be billed for an additional amount at the time of recording.
