How do I charge and collect eRecording fees?


Most eRecording fees are considered to be a component of “closing services” as defined by Sec. 627.7711(1)(a), F.S. and must be included in the settlement/closing fee. As such, they may not be separately itemized. (You may, however, choose to itemize costs and services which are included in your settlement/closing fee on a separate disclosure.)

NOTE: Lender instructions may specifically direct itemization which conflicts with Florida law. If that is the case, you should follow the lender’s instructions because it is responsible for preparing the form.
