How To... Force Attorney Fees
To force attorney fees on an account for the current year (February to June for real property and not early personal property accounts or February to March for early personal property accounts), enter an "S", "L", "I", or "W" in the account status field.
S = Suit
L = Litigation
I = Intervention
W = Warrant
If your attorney percentage is 20%:
Early Personal Property Accounts (HB2491)
If the payoff date is February or March of the current year and attorney fees are being forced onto the account, then by law for these 2 months the attorney fee percentage is 15% and not 20% for the current year.
Personal Property Accounts (No HB2491) and Real Property
If the payoff date is February to June of the current year and attorney fees are being forced onto the account, then by law for these 5 months the attorney fee percentage is 15% and not 20% for the current year.
