What is the filing fee for an assessment less than $150,000?

For assessments that are less than $150,000, the appropriate filing fee is indeed $5.00. This fee structure is designed to facilitate the filing process for lower-value assessments, making it more accessible for property owners. The minimal fee encourages homeowners with less expensive properties to participate in the assessment process without incurring a significant financial burden.

Higher fees typically apply to assessments that exceed this threshold, which reflects the greater complexity and potential implications associated with higher-valued properties. Therefore, the assigned fee structure serves as a means to effectively manage the administrative costs of the assessment process, while also promoting equitable access for all property owners regardless of the value of their property.
