,, Ken Thompson a" Page 2 June 30 , 1987 1 . Increase the marriage license fee $15 . 00 to $20. 00 . 2 . Increase fees for Plats from $13 .50 to $20 . 00 . 3 . Increase, fees for Uniform Comercial Codes from $5 .00 to $8. 00 . 4 . Increase recording fees from $5 . 00 1st page to $6 . 00 1st page and each additional page from $1 . 50 to' $2 . 00 . If all of the proposed legislation is passed by the General Assembly, Register of Deeds revenues will increase by approximately $26 ,000 . 00 . Another important factor to consider is that the proposed fee increases are tied to another legislative proposal which will get up a retirement program for Register of Deeds statewide . According to this proposal 4 . 6% of the income produced by the increases will be used to help finance the retirement program. Therefore , taking in consideration the 4 . 6% proposal , the net amount of the increase in Register of Deeds revenues will be approximately $24 , 804 . There is a possibility of some increases in the unregulated fees charged by the Register of Deeds . The department has requested a new copier in the 87/88 budget . This copier will increase the quality of the plat copies . The current charge for these plat copies is $1. 00 . The Register of Deeds is proposing a $2 . 00 fee since the quality will vastly improve . This increase in copy fees will result in additional revenues of $5 ,000 . 00 . This figure is based on the procurement of the copier within a 6 month period. Based on the information above , Land Records revenues can be budgeted at $11 , 950 . Pending legislation and approval of a new copier dictate the increases in Register of Deeds fees . I would advise that no budget adjustment be made at this time for Register of Deeds fees . If you have any questions or if I can provide any further information , please let me know.
