Transfer of Real Property - Recordation Certification and State Transfer Tax (Land Transfer Accountability Act)

Summary

The bill bars circuit court clerks from recording deeds that move land owned by the United States to non‑government parties unless a Certificate of Compliance is issued by the Attorney General’s Office and the Department of Assessments and Taxation. It also creates a uniform process for handling those certificates and sets a half‑percent transfer tax on such transactions. The measure aims to ensure federal land sales comply with all applicable laws and to generate revenue for the state.
