Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


This measure will not affect the costs and revenues attributable to the state general fund because the state general fund does not receive any portion of the filing fee. Currently, Trustee's reports for the sale of property at a foreclosure sale are filed with county clerks along with a $40 fee. Twenty dollars of each recording fee is deposited into the county's General Revenue Fund and the remaining $20 is remitted to the WV Housing Development Fund. The duties of the county clerks and the WV Housing Development Fund created under 44-13-3 will be eliminated by SB109 and workload will be reduced.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


Fee revenue is based upon the number of residential foreclosures in any given year and therefore difficult to predict. The WV Housing Development Fund will not realize substantial personnel or cost savings as a result of SB109. The reduction of income will be offset by reduction in staff time. Lost annual revenue is based on the average fee revenue for the past 3 fiscal years. Please note, the WV Housing Development Fund has no information relating to costs or revenues of the county clerks. The above information only relates to the effect of SB109 on the WV Housing Development Fund.



Memorandum


This measure will not affect the costs and revenues attributable to the state general fund because the state general fund does not receive any portion of the filing fee. The WV Housing Development Fund does not have the information necessary to project the revenue and expense impact of SB109 on county clerks.
