Recordation Tax
Description
Amendment to Deed of Trust
Topic
Documents Subject to Tax
Date Issued

The recordation tax should be based on the total amount determined by a deed of trust and an amendment thereto. The amendment is not an exception to the tax as a supplemental deed of trust, because its sole purpose is not to secure the payment of the amount contracted for in the original instrument.
