Information

Agenda Item

Discuss and approve increase of plat recording fees in County Clerk's office.

Background

Plat filing fees were last increased 13 years ago for a March 1st effective date. Law changes have changed the process from a simple 20 minutes to a couple of hours. Verifying of owners from those on the affadavit, plat and tax certificates. There are so many taxing entities now that we have to make sure that each one is covered by a tax certificate proving that the owner has paid all of the taxes up to date before a plat can be recorded. Copies of plats are going up to $5 effective March 1st.
