What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires that a person who conveys certain real property to another

must file a real estate transfer fee return even if the conveyance is exempt from the

fee. Currently, a person does not have to file a return if the conveyance is exempt

from the real estate transfer fee for any of the following reasons:

1. The person made the conveyance before October 1, 1969.

2. The property is conveyed from the United States or from this state or from

any agency or subdivision of either.

3. The property is conveyed to the United State or to this state or to any agency

or subdivision of either in order to construct a road, street, or highway.

4. The property is sold to pay delinquent taxes.

5. The property is conveyed by will, descent, or survivorship.

The bill requires that the person conveying the property file a real estate

transfer fee return even if the conveyance is exempt from the fee for any of the

reasons listed above, except that a return is not required for a conveyance made

before October 1, 1969.
