Senate Bill 999 updates the fee schedule for recording documents in Michigan county offices of the register of deeds. The bill directly affects individuals, businesses, and government entities that file property records, increasing the standard recording fee to $34 and establishing a new $6 fee for specific instruments to fund state mapping and aerial imagery projects. Additionally, the legislation clarifies payment deadlines for electronic filings and tax-related documents while allowing charter counties to set their own fee schedules based on service costs. The bill also requires registers of deeds to collect and forward specific fees related to unemployment lien discharges to the state unemployment agency.
