§ 1941.71 - Fees.

The borrower will pay all fees for filing or recording financing statements, mortgages, or other legal instruments and will pay all notary and lien search fees incident to loan transactions. Payment will be made from personal funds or from the proceeds of the loan. Whenever FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 employees accept cash to pay for filing or recording fees or for the cost of making a lien search, Form FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 440-12, “Acknowledgment of Payment for Recording, Lien Search, and Releasing Fees,” will be executed. FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 employees will make it clear to the borrower that any fee so accepted is not received by the Government as a payment on the borrower's debt, but is accepted only for paying the recording, filing, or lien search fees on behalf of the borrower.
