Bill > HB1125

This bill modifies the fees and recording requirements for documents submitted to county recorders of deeds in Missouri. The bill establishes detailed formatting standards for documents, including requirements for page layout, print size, paper quality, and information that must be included on the first page (such as document title, date, grantor and grantee names, property description). The bill updates the fee structure for recording various types of documents, including standard deeds, plats, surveys, and condominium drawings. Specifically, it sets new pricing tiers for recording and copying different sizes of documents, with fees ranging from $1 to $60 depending on document size and type. For instance, recording a survey or plat less than 18" by 24" will cost $25, while larger drawings have incrementally higher fees. The bill also maintains provisions for an additional $25 fee for documents not meeting formatting requirements and provides exemptions for certain types of documents like military papers, documents signed before 2002, and certified copies. The goal appears to be standardizing document submission processes and establishing clear, structured pricing for county recorders' services.
