This bill amends Section 331.604 of the Iowa Code to allow county recorders to impose a convenience fee for the filing or recording of instruments by non-residents of the county. The fee is applicable unless the individual pays property tax to the county and provides proof of payment, such as a receipt. The maximum convenience fee that can be charged is set at $10.

Additionally, the bill specifies that all funds collected from this convenience fee must be deposited into the county recorder's records management fund and utilized for purposes outlined in subsection 2, paragraph b. This change aims to provide counties with additional resources for managing their records while ensuring that non-residents contribute fairly to the costs associated with recording instruments.
