Recording your Washington County Lady Bird Deed
Deeds in Washington County are recorded by the Washington County Clerk of Court and 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 Washington County before recording.
