Relating to fees charged by county clerks for certain property records.

HB 3733 amends Texas law to standardize fees county clerks charge for property records, directly affecting homeowners, real estate buyers, and legal professionals who request documents. It specifies exact fees: $5 for the first page and $4 per additional page for personal and real property records, $1 per page for noncertified copies, and sets clear rates for certified documents and electronic formats. The bill also requires clerks to charge electronic copies according to existing Government Code provisions for public records. It takes effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
