Cass County Recorder Discusses Recorder’s Fee Modernization Project

(Cass Co) Cass County Recorder Mary Ward spoke to the Board of Supervisors this morning about the Recorder’s Fee Modernization Project that will be introduced in the upcoming legislative session.

Ward said the recording fees have not increased in almost 40-years.

Ward explained that they put a committee together to look at what they would like to do in Iowa and to look at what other surrounding states charge.

Ward said a lot of the fees they are going to collect will go to the General Fund.

Ward said they’re looking at an increase of anywhere from 33-thousand to 43-thousand that would go to the General Fund as a result of this modernization fee increase.
