Will there be NO recordation taxes if the mortgage refi is simple with no additional cash taken out? I have gotten quotes from $55 to $3710 to refi my loan relating to recordation tax. It seems each mortgage company differs in their stance. PNC, Mainline etc...

Exactly, no recordation of $12 per thousand if no "new money" is taken out.  Recordation is charged on entire loan amount when it's an investment property.

If refinancing owner occupied home in Fred. County MD will there be recordation tax if closing cost is rolled over into the mortgage???

Regardless if closing costs are rolled into mortgage or not, will not affect if you are paying Recordation Tax or not.

It depends on if there is any cashout, or if it's an investment property.
