Michigan Compiled Laws, Chapter 560. Subdivision Control Act of 1967 § 560.246

Sec. 246. (1) The governing body of a municipality may adopt by ordinance a reasonable schedule of fees, based on the number of lots in the proposed subdivision. The fee charged shall be in addition to the filing and recording fee, and shall be for the examination and inspection of plats and the land proposed to be subdivided, and related expenses.

(2) A proprietor submitting a plat for approval shall be required to deposit the established fee with the clerk of the municipality and until the fee is paid, the plat shall not be considered or reviewed.

(3) The governing body may employ a surveyor as an assistant. If it is deemed more practical in a county for the county to employ a surveyor to assist governing bodies of municipalities within the county, then the board of supervisors, by resolution, may employ the surveyor and may establish a reasonable schedule of fees for his services to be charged to the governing body receiving his assistance.

(4) Until an ordinance is adopted by the governing body establishing a schedule of fees, the governing body may require the payment of a fee not to exceed $100.00.
