Westmoreland County's own Fee Schedule page (westmorelandcountypa.gov/152/Fee-Schedule) was blocked to automated fetch (403/Cloudflare) on 2026-09-22, so these figures come from that same official page's content as indexed and quoted in search results, not a direct read; the exact page-count structure above the base four pages could not be independently confirmed and should be spot-checked against the county's PDF before publishing a per-page rate.
