Marriage License fee by county?

I am kind of shocked to learn that the cost of a marriage license varies by county, and some might (?) even charge more for self-uniting. What does your county charge for a license fee?

  • So Lancaster costs $40 (same price for self-uniting) while Lebanon charges $70 (same price for self-uniting). That as 43% change between neighboring counties.
  • We got our self-uniting license in Chester County for $75. We got married in Lancaster but H's parents live in Chester County, and since it's heavily Quaker we knew there wouldn't be any issues getting a self-uniting license. I grew up in Lebanon and had zero faith they would have a clue what I was talking about.

  • Dauphin, Cumberland and York are all within $5-10 of each other. Dauphin is $55 (highest of the three).
