Recording your Collier County Lady Bird Deed
Deeds in Collier County are recorded by the Collier Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller. The office offers eRecording (eRecording portal), and paper recording is also available at the courthouse.
Under Fla. Stat. §28.24, the statutory recording fee is $10.00 for the first page plus $8.50 for each additional page. A typical single-page Lady Bird Deed costs $10 to record. Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed itself is set by Fla. Stat. §201.02; because a Lady Bird Deed is not a completed transfer during the grantor's lifetime, most clerks apply the minimum stamp of $0.70. Always confirm current fees with Collier County before recording.
