§ 26857 Government Service Fee Exemption

• •Clerks cannot charge fees for helping cities, counties, or the state or national government.
• •This rule also applies to any work done for these governments.
• •This law started in 2005 and became active in 2006.

A city asks a clerk to make copies of important papers for a meeting.

The clerk cannot charge the city any money for making these copies because the law says services for the government are free.
