Bill > SB103

This bill revises the fee charged by the clerk of district court for issuing an execution or order of sale on a foreclosure of a lien, increasing the fee from $5 to $25. The bill specifies that $20 of the new fee will be deposited into the county district court fund, which supports local court operations. If a county does not have a district court fund, the money will be deposited in the county general fund and used for district court operations. The change is made by amending section 25-1-201 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), which lists the various fees collected by district court clerks. This relatively small fee increase could provide additional financial resources to support local court administrative functions, potentially helping to cover operational costs or improve court services.
