PLEASE NOTE: The Norfolk County Registry of Deeds recorded land postage and document return charge has been increased to one dollar per document effective July 1, 2005. This fee, which had not been increased since 1999, has been raised to help cover increased costs associated with mailing back original documents to filers.
