Pursuant to Section § 14-8-15, NMSA 1978, A County Clerk shall collect a recording fee of $25.00 for each document filed or recorded by the County Clerk. If a document being filed or recorded contains more than ten entries to be indexed, the County Clerk shall charge an additional $25.00 for each additional block of ten or fewer entries to the index from each document. All checks must be made payable to the Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office.
All documents will be given a new method in determining filing fees, including plats/surveys. The County Clerk’s Office will review the Grantor/Grantee’s and legal description of each document and determine how many entries will be required for indexing. Every name indexed counts as one entry. For example:
Grantor/Grantee: Every name indexed counts as 1 entry
Subdivided Lots: All lots within the same block are 1 entry
Lots and Tracts that are not inclusive of a block are indexed as 1 entry
Non-Subdivided Lots: All parcels within the same section are 1 entry
