Nebraska Amends Provisions Regarding Recording and Filing Document Fees
The state of Nebraska amended its provisions relating to fees for recording and the filing of certain documents through House Bill 152. These provisions are effective on September 1, 2017 (or 3 months following adjournment of the current legislative session).
The main update applies to Nebraska Code Section 33-109 (1) which adds provisions to the effect that the two-dollars and fifty cents of the ten-dollar fee for recording the first page and fifty cents of the six–dollar fee for recording each additional page shall in addition to being used for the purposes of preserving and maintaining public records of the office of the register of deeds and for modernization and technology needs relating to such records also be used for preserving and maintaining public records of a register of deeds office that has been consolidated with another county office pursuant to section 22-417 and for modernization and technology needs relating to such records.
The update further provides that the funds allocated under this subsection shall not be substituted for other allocations of county general funds to the register of deeds office or any other county office.
