Bill > HB3175

This bill modifies Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 203.148, specifically addressing county recording fees for public land corner preservation. The bill allows county governing bodies to establish a Public Land Corner Preservation Fund, which can only be used to pay expenses related to establishing, reestablishing, and maintaining government survey land corners. The key change removes the previous $10 maximum fee limit for recording instruments, giving counties more flexibility in setting recording fees. Counties must still provide public notice and hold a hearing before establishing or changing such fees. All money collected from these fees must be deposited monthly with the county treasurer and credited to the Public Land Corner Preservation Fund. This change gives counties more autonomy in funding the maintenance and preservation of important land survey markers, which are critical for accurate property boundaries and land management.
