Changes include TIF district set-up ($0 to $250), individual assessment lien release ($46 to $56), tax lien recording/release ($46 to $56), delinquent publication per parcel ($20 to $25), repurchase/forfeit property per parcel ($120 to $250), and increases to plat book and duplicate statement fees.
