An Act establishing a real estate transfer fee upon the transfer of property in the city known as the town of Amherst

HD 4164 would authorize the town of Amherst to impose a real estate transfer fee on property sales within its boundaries. This fee would be collected at the time of property ownership transfer, affecting both buyers and sellers during real estate transactions. The bill does not specify a fee amount or calculation method but grants the town legal authority to establish the fee through local ordinances. The town of Amherst has already approved this measure locally, as noted in the bill's abstract.
