In Re: County Clerk/Register of Deeds — New Notary Public Act; Request to Assess
Mandated Application Fee Pursuant to Statute
To: The Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, effective April 1, 2004, a new statute was put into effect which established
new rules, procedures and fees relative to the appointment of a notary public in the state
of Michigan, known as the Michigan Notary Public Act, Act 238 of 2003; and
WHEREAS, the Notary Public statute (MCL 55.273 (3) ) mandates that each applicant
"shall pay a $10.00 filing fee to the county clerk" and that from this $10.00 fee, an
amount of $2.00 "of each fee collected" shall be deposited into the state's notary
education and training fund established otherwise within the statute; and
WHEREAS, the result of this resolution will bring Oakland County's fee structure in line
with the state mandated fee structure for Notary Public resulting in the county portion
rising from $1.00 under the old law to a $8.00 per application payable to the general
fund.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes the Clerk and Register of Deeds to increase the county fee for notary public
application to $10.00 per application with $2.00 of this fee to be deposited into the notary
education and training fund as mandated by P.A. 238 of 2003.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption of
the foregoing resolution.
