Colorado Documentary Fee

Colorado has no state transfer tax but charges a documentary fee when a deed conveying real property is recorded, under C.R.S. 39-13-102. The rate is one cent per $100 of consideration. No fee is owed if consideration is $500 or less; above $500 it applies to the full amount, including assumed liens. The county clerk and recorder collects it. Some home-rule municipalities levy their own separate transfer taxes.
