Fees of clerk.
Operative Text
The clerk shall be paid for recording, granting certificate, and noting publication, as aforesaid, $1.50.
West Virginia Code § 37-6-25 establishes a fixed administrative fee of $1.50 payable to the clerk for a specific set of recording services related to landlord-tenant matters, including recording, granting a certificate, and noting publication. This is a statutory fee schedule provision, not a substantive rule governing the rights or obligations of landlords or tenants directly. The fee amount is set by statute and applies uniformly whenever these particular clerk services are performed.
