§ 34.1-9-525 — Fees

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (e), fees
for services rendered by the filing office under this part must
be set by rule adopted by the secretary of state. The rule must
set the fees for filing and indexing a record under this article
on the following basis:
(i) If a record presented for filing is communicated
to the filing office in writing and consists of more than two
(2) pages, the fee for filing and indexing the record must be at
least twice the amount of the fee for a record communicated in
writing that consists of one (1) or two (2) pages; and
(ii) If the record is communicated by another medium
authorized by filing-office rule, the fee for filing and
indexing the record must be no more than half the amount of the
fee for a record communicated in writing that consists of one
(1) or two (2) pages.
(b) There is no subsection (b).
(c) The number of names required to be indexed does not
affect the amount of the fees in subsections (a) and (b).
(d) The rule adopted pursuant to subsection (a) must set
the fee for responding to a request for information from the
filing office, including for communicating whether there is on
file any financing statement naming a particular debtor. A fee
for responding to a request communicated in writing must be not
less than twice the amount of the fee for responding to a
request communicated by another medium authorized by
filing-office rule. This subsection does not require that a fee
be charged for remote access searching of the filing office data
base. The rule adopted pursuant to subsection (a) need not
specify a fee for remote access searching of the filing office
data base.
(e) This section does not require a fee with respect to a
record of mortgage that is effective as a financing statement
filed as a fixture filing or as a financing statement covering
as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut under section
34.1-9-502(c). However, the recording and satisfaction fees
that otherwise would be applicable to the record of mortgage
apply.
