### Subtitle 5. Filing

#### Section 9-525

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), the fee for filing and indexing a record under this part, other than an initial financing statement of the kind described in Sec. 9-502(c), is:

  (1) $25 if the record is communicated in writing and consists of eight or fewer pages;

  (2) $75 if the record is communicated in writing and consists of more than eight pages; and

  (3) $25 if the record is communicated by another medium authorized by filing-office rule.

(b) The number of names required to be indexed does not affect the amount of the fee in subsection (a).

(c) This section does not require a fee with respect to a record of a mortgage which is effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or as a financing statement covering as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut under Sec. 9-502(c). However, the recording and satisfaction fees that otherwise would be applicable to the record of the mortgage apply.
