Vital Statistics Fee Increase
Memo to:
Subject:
Senate Bill 1744 passed during the last legislative session allows a local registrar to
collect an additional $1.00 fee for the preservation of birth and death records maintained
by the local registrar. This fee is collected on the issuance of a vital statistic record.
Mr. Staples has reviewed the legislation as it pertains to our city and has advised that I
can go forward with the collection of the additional fee. In the past our vital statistic fees
were established by ordinance. Mr. Staples advises that we can administratively
increase the fee without passage of an ordinance.
It is my recommendation that the City's vital statistics division charge the following fees
effective October 1:
Birth Record:
$14.00 per certified certificate
Death Record
$10.00 each for the first certificate and $4.00
for each additional certificate issued at the
same time.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
