Affordable Housing Fund Proposed – Backed by Recording Fees

Affordable Housing Fund Proposed

State Senator Ulibarri has introduced Senate Bill 2015-79 to seek to fund statewide affordable housing through a surcharge on recording fees of County Clerks and Recorders.

Community associations record notices of liens, notices of violations, amendments to declarations, and more.  This bill, if passed, will have a fiscal impact on associations.  The extent of this will depend on the number of documents recorded.

Under current law, each County Clerk and Recorder collects a surcharge of $1.00 for recording documents to maintain their filing systems.  The proposed legislation increases this fee to $2.00.  Of the $2.00 fee, the Clerk and Recorder would retain $1.00. The other $1.00 would be transferred to the State Treasurer for a statewide Affordable Housing Fund.
