Concerning administrative costs associated with the document recording fee.

HB 1260 updates the rules for how administrative costs are handled for the $183 document recording fee in Washington state. The bill maintains the existing surcharge on recorded documents and its distribution to county auditors, counties, and state accounts for housing and homeless services. It specifically amends how counties can use their share of these funds for local homeless housing plans and related administrative costs. This includes new provisions for how funds are distributed to cities that operate their own homeless housing programs, allowing them to receive funds directly for program and administrative expenses.
