[WSBARP] Recording Fee

[James L. Strichartz]

I just had an amended and restated condominium declaration rejected by
the Benton County Auditor because I did not remit the proper recording
fee.  They claim that the correct fee for recording the first page of
the document is $792 dollars because it references the declaration and
nine prior amendments as required by RCW 64.34.264(3).  They are
claiming that the reference to multiple documents makes this multiple
transactions.  Has anyone had a similar experience.  I have not run
across this logic in any other county.  Any assistance you can give
would be appreciated.
