Marriage licenses are increasing from $72 to $172
VANCOUVER – The Recording Office in the Clark County Auditor’s Office has updated fees for some documents as a result of changes approved by the Washington State Legislature in House Bill 1858 and House Bill 1498. The effective date for the new fee structure is July 27, 2025.
Marriage licenses are increasing from $72 to $172. The $100 increase will fund a co-responder program for domestic violence incidents.
House Bill 1858 eliminated exemptions for documents which transfer the ownership or trusteeship of loan documents. The recording fees for the first pages of those documents now will be $301.
