Attorney's fees

Sec. 47. (a) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), the attorney's fees paid may not exceed four percent (4%) of the estimated cost of construction. (b) If an appeal is taken or other extra proceedings are conducted, the court may allow a reasonable additional amount for the extra legal services actually provided. (c) If: (1) the aggregate cost is less than one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500); and (2) the petition is filed separately by the owners of land abutting or within one-fourth (1/4) mile of the shoreline or water line of the lake; the court shall fix a reasonable amount instead of the four percent (4%) for the petitioners' attorney's fees.
