The fitness studio's revenue and expenditure accounts currently exist within the department's grant project fund.

The budget amendment does not increase or decrease the bottom line funding available for this program.

In the 2008 session of the North Carolina General Assembly, legislators increased the registration fee for Deeds of Trust and Mortgages by $10 (going from a current fee of $12.00 to $22.00 for the first page). The current fee of $3.00 for each additional page as well as the additional $2.00 probate fee for all verified copies will remain the same and are not impacted by this legislative change. These monies will be passed directly from counties to the State and used to offset costs associated with the State's Floodplain Mapping program. In order to facilitate the fee, it is necessary for the County to amend its fee schedule.
