Clerk‑Recorder seeks $7 notification fee and posts state fee changes if AB 2224 is signed

Danielle Sexton, Inyo County Clerk‑Recorder, briefed the board on a proposed recorder‑notification program that would automatically send a notice to the property owner when certain documents (deeds, deeds of trust, quitclaim deeds, mortgages) are recorded. Sexton said the county studied the time and operational cost of providing the service and determined an estimated fee of $7 per covered document would cover the work without generating a surplus.
