Raise deed recording fees

Introduced in the House

March 21, 2006

Introduced by Rep. George Cushingberry (D-8)

To increase from $4 to $6 the deed recording fee charged by county clerks, the money from which goes to the state remonumentation fund. Money in that fund is supposed to be used to replace missing and inaccurate property markers that serve as the basis for all public and private property locations, but the legislature recently shifted $15 million from the fund to pay for additional government spending.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
