Mich. Comp. Laws § 324.50153: Schedule of fees for services; establishment; uniform severance fee.

Sec. 50153.

The board may establish a schedule of fees for the services provided directly to members within a district.

After a referendum in which a majority of the members in a district approve the charging of a severance fee, the district may charge the fee, if a member harvests timber from forest land in the district. The issue of the charging of a severance fee may be placed before the members at the time of the formation of a district. The severance fee shall be uniform throughout a district and shall not exceed 10% of the stumpage value of the timber harvested.
