Washington HB2067 aims to restore the document recording fee to cover administrative costs and repeals related surcharges.

Washington HB2067 seeks to restore the document recording fee to cover administrative costs, eliminating its use as a tax for other programs. The bill repeals several surcharges previously used to fund various programs, including the displaced homemaker act and the Washington state library-archives building. It sets a minimum fee of $25 per plat and limits the fee for recording documents to $30 or the actual cost, whichever is less. The bill also specifies fees for various services such as preparing and certifying copies, recording plats, and issuing marriage licenses.
