  3. Base fees are for up to 4 pages, 4 names, and 1 tax parcel number. Enter any additional pages, names, or parcel numbers so the calculator can adjust the estimate.
  4. Review the special notes below when calculating a deed fee.

Special Notes for Deeds

  1. Statement of Value pages: If a deed uses a Pennsylvania Department of Revenue Statement of Value form, the Fayette County Recorder of Deeds does not count that form as a fee page.
    1. Example: If a deed has 5 total pages and the fifth page is the Statement of Value form, enter 4 pages in the calculator.
    2. The same rule applies when another document type uses a Statement of Value form; the form is not counted as a fee page.
  2. Full transfer-tax exemption: Enter 0 in the Consideration Amount/Fair Market Value field, regardless of the consideration shown on the document.
  3. Partial transfer-tax exemption: Enter the amount upon which transfer tax is being based in the Consideration Amount/Fair Market Value field.
