A bill for an act relating to a convenience fee for recording instruments in a county by a person who is not a resident of the county.

This bill allows county recorders in Iowa to charge a convenience fee of up to $10 for non-residents who file or record legal documents, unless those individuals pay property taxes to the county and provide proof. The fee applies per transaction on each page or fraction of a page, with the money collected going into a records management fund for specified uses. Non-residents who are property taxpayers can avoid the fee by submitting proof of their tax payments to the county.
