Bill > SB938

This bill modifies provisions related to land surveying by increasing a user fee charged by recorders of deeds for recording instruments from four to six dollars, with three dollars of this fee retained by the recorder for record storage and preservation, and the remaining three dollars split between the state's "Missouri Land Survey Fund" and an account for the secretary of state to preserve local records. It also introduces an additional three-dollar fee for specific types of recorded instruments, with these funds going to the Missouri housing trust fund. Furthermore, the bill allows the department of agriculture to establish fees by rule for producing and selling maps, plats, and other land survey-related records, and clarifies that any rules created under this authority must comply with state administrative procedure laws.
