(BROWNSTOWN) – With the start of the new year, the state of Indiana
has announced updates to recording fees for Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings. The new fee schedule will go into effect on January 1, 2021 and will reflect an increase from $10 to $25.
The fee change was prompted by a question posed by the State Board of Accounts to the Indiana Attorney General’s Office regarding contradictory parts of the law, indicating two different fees in different sections of the Indiana Code. An advisory opinion was issued by Indiana Attorney General, Curtis T. Hill, Jr. providing the UCC fee should follow Indiana Code 36-2-7-10.
As a result of the opinion, the fees will now be updated to reflect the current law. The full fee schedule is included below. As always, you may contact the Recorder’s Office with any questions at (812) 358-6113.
