### ✨ New Features and Improvements

#### Exempt Recording Fees

You'll need to contact support if this new feature is applicable to your organization.

Government organizations that are exempt from county recording fees are able to mark recording fees as exempt on their documents. This will set the recording fees estimate to $0. Please note, that the county ultimately decides what the final recording fees will be.
