Connecticut Legislature passed a law increasing
the cost of recording MERS documents to $159.
MERS sued the State of Connecticut on
constitutional grounds and asked a judge to
delay the effective date of the new fees. On
Friday afternoon, a judge in Hartford refused the
request and this morning the cost of recording
certain documents has increased.
As a result of the law, please increase the amount you disclose, for
recording fees in Connecticut, to $350.
Please note: A subordination, if applicable, that mentions MERS is an
additional $159 under the new law.
If you have any tolerance issues at closing, please contact your AE.
