Subd. 3. Fees paid before title issued.

Subd. 4. Deposit of fee. Fees collected under this section must be deposited in the state treasury and credited to the water recreation account, except a deputy registrar who originates an application shall retain the filing fee under subdivision 1, paragraph (b).
