This record shall be prima facie evidence in all courts and tribunals that the purchaser is the owner of the land under the purchase.

(2) The county treasurer shall be entitled to a fee of 50 cents for filing the notice and to additional fees as provided by law for making the copy and certifying to the making of the copy. The county treasurer shall be entitled to a fee of 50 cents for recording the copy of notice and proof of service and shall collect from the purchaser under the sale or deed the recording fee of the register of deeds. The register of deeds shall be entitled to the same fees for recording the copy as is provided by law for recording deeds of conveyance and other instruments.

(3) A charter county with a population of more than 2,000,000 may impose by ordinance a different amount for a fee prescribed by this section. A charter county shall not impose a fee which is greater than the cost of the service for which the fee is charged.
