A real property endorsement fee in Marshall County will now be charged as a per parcel transaction instead of a single transaction.
Marshall County Auditor Julie Fox explained to the Marshall County Commissioners last week that a lot of work goes into the transfer and recording of deeds and some deeds have several parcels that takes a lot of effort to complete. She asked the commissioners to consider an ordinance amendment to change the overall $10 transaction fee to $10 per parcel.
Auditor noted that the money collected in this fee helps maintain the plat maps and pays for the salary of an employee in her office. The commissioners voted unanimously to suspend the rules and approve the ordinance amendment on all three readings. The amendment will need to be published before it goes into effect.
