Assignments of Mortgage

Assignment of Mortgage	An additional $3.00 is charged for every mortgage recited in an assignment in excess of one.

Satisfaction of Mortgage

If the satisfaction involves a consolidated mortgage, the total recording charge minus the $5.00 per page must be multiplied by the number of mortgages in the consolidated mortgage; add the $5.00 per page to this total. (A spreader agreement is treated as a separate mortgage).

E.g. If you are recording a 2 page satisfaction, the recording fee minus the $5.00 per page is $32.00. If it represents a consolidation of 2 mortgages, the charge would be $64.00 + $10.00 for the 2 pages = $74.00.
