Counties and county officers; county treasurer fee; effective date.
HB 1392 increases the fee county treasurers charge for certifying mortgages from $5 to $10 per mortgage. This fee, paid by mortgage borrowers, lenders, or other interested parties, will be deposited into a dedicated "County Treasurer's Mortgage Certification Fee Account" and used solely for operating the treasurer's office. The bill modifies existing mortgage tax rates based on loan term length but focuses the main change on the certification fee increase. It becomes effective November 1, 2025.
