SB 938 - Under the act, a user fee of six dollars, instead of four dollars as currently provided, shall be charged and collected by every recorder of deeds as a condition precedent to the recording of any instrument. Three dollars, instead of two dollars as currently provided, of such fee shall be retained by the recorder and deposited in the Recorder's Fund and not in county general revenue.

A fee in the amount of two dollars, instead of one dollar as currently provided, shall be paid to the State Treasurer and credited to the "Missouri Land Survey Fund" for purposes of land surveying.

The Department of Agriculture shall establish by rule the fees necessary to reflect the costs associated with the production or reproduction of maps, plats, reports, studies, and records related to land surveys.
