Kitsap County recording fees are changing, particularly for assignments and substitutions of previously recorded deeds of trust. Effective July 27, 2025, the fee for these documents will increase to $301.50 for the first page. This increase is due to HB 1858 – 2025-26 which eliminates the exemption for assignments or substitutions of previously recorded deeds of trust from the document recording fee and the covenant homeownership program assessment.
