14-8-12.4. Recording fee; more than two acknowledgments; more than two hundred words; when number of words is in excess of standard form.

For each instrument recorded having more than two acknowledgments, an additional fee of fifty cents ($.50) shall be charged by the county clerk for each additional acknowledgment; and for each instrument containing more than two hundred words in the description of the property contained in the instrument, an additional charge shall be made of twenty-five cents ($.25) for each additional one hundred words. This additional charge shall not be made in cases when the instrument is photocopied or when the recordation of the instrument is determined by the number of words contained in the instrument and not by a flat fee fixed in this article. In all cases where standard forms are prescribed and where nonstandard forms of instruments for which a flat fee is fixed are recorded, a charge of twenty-five cents ($.25) shall be made for each additional one hundred words or portion thereof in excess of the length of the standard form prescribed, except when the instrument is photocopied.
