AB 661 California Assembly · 2015-2016 Regular Session

Counties: recording: real estate instruments.

Summary

Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors to adopt, by resolution, a fee of up to $10 for each recording of a real estate instrument, paper, or notice required or permitted by law to be recorded, except as specified. Existing law defines the term "real estate instrument" to exclude a deed, instrument, or writing recorded in connection with a transfer subject to a documentary transfer tax. This bill would recast this latter exclusion from a "real estate instrument" as a statement that the above-described fee does not apply to any real estate instrument, paper, or notice accompanied by a declaration stating that the transfer is subject to a documentary transfer tax, is recorded concurrently with a transfer subject to a documentary transfer tax, or is presented for recording within the same business day as, and is related to the recording of, a transfer subject to a documentary transfer tax.
