(c) A local government or its designee, including the program administrator, is authorized to impose fees to offset the actual and reasonable costs of administering a program. The fees may be assessed as part of the program application, to be paid by the property owner requesting to participate in the program. Service fees of approved applications must be calculated as one percent (1%) of the total amount financed, not to exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). Service fees retained by a local government or its designee must be placed into a reserve account and utilized for the local government and assessor-related costs if the local government chooses to exercise its authority under § 68-205-107(d). If the local government does not choose to exercise its authority under § 68-205-107(d), then the funds must be placed into an account designated by the local government or its designee.
