Building Homes and Jobs Act: recording fee: mining claims.

Existing law imposes a charge, except as provided, of $75 to be paid at the time of the recording of every real estate instrument, paper, or notice required or permitted by law to be recorded, per each single transaction per single parcel of real property, not to exceed $225. Existing law defines "real estate instrument, paper, or notice" for this purpose as a document relating to real property and specifies a nonexhaustive list of documents deemed to be a "real estate instrument, paper, or notice." This bill would exclude from this definition of "real estate instrument, paper, or notice," and thereby exempt from the recording fee, any document recorded in relation to a mining claim, as provided. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
