Who is authorized to set the cap on redemption charges by ordinance?

• A. A Municipality by Ordinance
• B. State Legislature
• C. Mayor's Office
• D. County Clerk

Answer: (A)

Local governments regulate the fees for the services they provide, so setting a cap on redemption charges is typically done by the municipality through an ordinance. The municipal legislative body has the authority to enact the rules governing how much can be charged within its jurisdiction, ensuring the limit reflects local needs and fairness. A state legislature would only be the source of a statewide rule if one exists; absent that, the local ordinance governs. The mayor’s office alone generally cannot bind the public with a cap by executive action, and the county clerk does not set policy caps—these are determined by the local governing body and implemented by its administration.
