County-based estimateIncludes verified filing logic and editable county presets
Recording package
Leave blank to use the county preset. The surcharge is applied separately to every eligible document.
Submission and cover-sheet rules
eRecorded: the electronic synopsis satisfies N.J.S.A. 46:26A-5, so no paper cover sheet and no $20 indexing charge are added. Paper: attach the statutory cover sheet. For page-based instruments, the cover sheet is included in the page count. If it is omitted, the calculator adds the statutory $20 indexing charge. Flat-fee instruments do not receive an extra page charge merely because a paper cover sheet is attached.

Source audit
Built from N.J.S.A. 22A:4-4.1 fee components, N.J.S.A. 46:26A-5 cover-sheet/electronic-synopsis rules, N.J.S.A. 22A:4-17 homelessness surcharge rules, and current public county schedules reviewed in July 2026. The calculator deliberately shows a warning for county presets not independently confirmed from a current public fee schedule. The override field controls the calculation.
