SB 938 modifies Missouri land surveying fee structures by requiring recorders to collect a $5 fee per recorded instrument. Two dollars of this fee stays with the recorder for record preservation, while $3 is sent to the state treasury. The state allocates $2 per fee to the "Missouri Land Survey Fund" (for survey-related purposes) and $1 to the secretary of state for record preservation. The bill also directs $3 per fee to the Missouri Housing Trust Fund. It directly affects county recorders, state agencies managing funds, and anyone recording land survey documents.
