19 Section 5-1123.
20 The county board may, by resolution, provide a schedule
21 of fees sufficient to reimburse the county for the costs

23 submitted for approval to the county board. The fees
24 authorized by this Section are to be paid into the general
25 corporate fund of the county by the party desiring to have
26 the plat approved.

28 of plats shall engage in the business of surveying, and no
29 map, plat or subdivision shall be received for record or have
30 any validity which has been prepared by or under the
31 direction of such plat officer.
