(b) All requests for copies of records on file shall be subject to the standard fees in subsection (a) except for requests initiated and processed entirely as self-service requests.

For a request for all records within a specified date range, the Office of the Assessor-Recorder may, in its discretion, charge lower fees than subsection (a) requires to more accurately reflect the actual costs of fulfilling the request.
(c) Fees received by the Assessor-Recorder under this Section 8.33.2 shall be deposited with the City and County Treasurer.
