Requires disclosure of sales prices in real estate sales

HB 2496 requires real estate sellers to disclose the sales price in any recorded document transferring property ownership in Missouri. It directly affects buyers and sellers in residential and commercial real estate transactions who file deeds or contracts with county recorders. The bill imposes a civil penalty of 5% of the sales price on purchasers who record documents without this disclosure, enforceable by the state attorney general or county prosecutors. This rule does not apply to documents transferring only mineral rights in property.
