NAC104.175. Methods of payment of fees.

Filing fees and other fees for services concerning public records may be paid by any of the following methods:

     1. Cash payments made in legal tender of the United States may be made in person to the cashier at the filing office.

     2. A check payable in legal tender of the United States, including a check in an amount to be filled in by the filing officer but not to exceed a specified amount, will be accepted for payment by the filing officer if the check is drawn on a bank acceptable to the filing officer or if the drawer is acceptable to the filing officer. If a check accepted by the filing officer as payment for a filing is returned for insufficient funds, the filing officer will so indicate on the filing and the filing shall be deemed void.

     3. The filing officer will accept payment via an electronic funds transfer in accordance with the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association from a remitter who has entered into an appropriate arrangement for such a transfer that has been approved by the National Automated Clearing House Association and who authorizes the relevant transfer pursuant to that arrangement and those rules.

     4. A remitter may open a trust account for the prepayment of filing fees by submitting an application furnished by the filing officer. Filing fees may be prepaid in amounts of not less than $100. The filing officer will issue an account number to be used by a remitter who wishes to pay filing fees in advance. The filing officer will deduct filing fees from the remitter’s trust account when authorized to do so by the remitter. The remitter must provide to the filing officer written authorization to use the trust account to pay filing fees.

     5. The filing officer will accept payment from a remitter using a credit or debit card issued by a card issuer approved by the filing officer. The remitter must provide the filing officer with the card number, the expiration date of the card, the name of the approved card issuer, the name of the individual to whom or the organization to which the card was issued and the billing address for the card. Such a payment is not tendered until the card issuer or its agent has confirmed to the filing officer that payment will be forthcoming.
