Growth means more government fees

Effective June 1st, 2004, there is a $4 per page increase in the service
charge associated with recording documents in the Official Records of
Hendry County. This service charge increase is being used to provide
technology funds for the Clerks of Courts, the Judges, the State Attorneys
and the Public Defenders.
Please note this increase is per page. Therefore the cost of recording
documents in the Official Records will be $10 for the first page and $8.50
for each page thereafter. Please read important notice regarding documents
being recorded during May or June 2004.

About a 66% fee increase in one of Florida's poorest counties, and one with
the highest unemployment. Ironically, the county government is one of the
largest employers in Hendry county, employing per capita more workers than
any private company.
