What’s in it
AI summary County recorders can charge people who live outside the county a convenience fee of up to $10 to file or record documents. This fee does not apply to people who can prove they already pay property taxes in that county. The money collected from these fees goes into a special fund used for managing the recorder's records.1
Read the official explanation
This bill allows a county recorder to charge, in addition to any other fee imposed by law, a convenience fee for the filing or recording of an instrument for a person who is not a resident of the county, unless that person pays property tax to the county and provides proof of payment. The recorder shall not charge a convenience fee in excess of $10. Moneys collected from the assessment of a convenience fee pursuant to the bill shall be deposited in the county’s county recorder’s records management fund and used for specified purposes.
