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 will be deposited into the county recorder's records management fund, which is designated for specific purposes outlined in the law. The changes aim to provide a financial mechanism for county recorders to manage the costs associated with recording instruments for non-residents while ensuring that residents who contribute to the county through property taxes are exempt from this additional charge.
