Due Process
A rational relationship exists between persons subjected to Rental Housing Support Program surcharge and the object of the section of the Counties Code which imposes a $10 surcharge for recordation of any real estate-related document in a county. Goals of statute are to provide affordable rental housing and to maintain and improve property values, and are legitimate government interests. (GARMAN, FREEMAN, THOMAS, KILBRIDE, KARMEIER, and THEIS, concurring.)
