MI SB1133

County registers of deeds collect a $4.00 fee for recording instruments through December 31, 2042, with the fee reducing to $2.00 beginning January 1, 2043.

Collected fees are remitted quarterly to the state treasurer and deposited into the survey and remonumentation fund, with counties retaining up to 1.5% to cover administrative costs.

Counties that expended funds to expedite completion of their county plan may use up to 50% of annual grant revenue to reimburse themselves for those expenditures.

Fee exemptions apply to state and federal agencies filing liens, individuals or entities recording liens under employment security or commercial code provisions, and foreclosing governmental units.

Effective immediately upon passage (December 22, 2022).
