Counties: employees and officers; request for transcript and abstract of paper or record; modify. Amends sec. 1 of 1895 PA 161 (MCL 48.101).
This bill modifies the fees county treasurers charge for providing transcripts, abstracts, and copies of property tax records. It establishes specific rates for paper documents, such as 25 cents per year for tax abstracts and a minimum charge of 50 cents for any request. The legislation also sets a maximum fee of 30 cents per parcel record, capped at $2,000 total, for electronic copies of real property data like owner names, assessed values, and tax bills. Additionally, it allows large charter counties with over 2 million people to set their own fees as long as the cost does not exceed the actual expense of providing the service.
