Municipal Recording Fees -- FEE CHANGE
Per House Bill 526, effective 7/1/19 municipal recording fees for documents, including PTTRs, will increase from $10/page to $15/page. The cost to record a survey plat goes from $15 to $25 and the hourly cost for examining goes from $2/hr to $4/hr.
Good news includes the fact that a clerk may not charge the costs of return postage and a clerk must enter information into a day book within 3 days of endorsing
it with the date and time the document was received. This topic and other important legislative changes will be discussed at Last Chance Seminar.
Note: On or around June 17, when entering the recording fees in PrepExpress Online®, users will be prompted with the following:

A Night of fun at the Ballpark
VATC's Annual Night with the Lake Monsters is just around the corner! Join fellow VATC agents, their staff members, and family for a BBQ and an evening under the lights as the Lake Monsters take on the Brooklyn Cyclones (NY Mets affiliate).
We'll provide tickets to the game, BBQ dinner and $10 in ballpark spending money!
|
Date:
|
Friday, July 26, 2019 |
|
Who:
|
This event is free and is open to the real estate departments of all active VATC members and their families
|
| Time: |
Gates/BBQ open at 6:00pm; first pitch at 7:05pm
|
|
Where:
|
Centennial Field (98 University Road, Burlington)
|
Very Important:
1. We ask that you reserve spaces ONLY if you plan to attend the game. In the past we have experienced numbers of "no-shows" on game night. We realize that sometimes family plans change but since this event sells out every year (and we have to buy all of the tickets), we ask that you call us - with lead time, if possible - to let us know if you cannot get to the game.
2. This event is targeted at the real estate personnel (attorneys, staff, paralegals) in the firm as well as their respective families. We ask that responses be limited accordingly.
3. There is a limit of 10 people per firm or prior VATC approval.
Thank you for your courtesies.
