This bill would encourage purchasers of residential real property to record deeds in a timely fashion. Under the bill, a purchaser that submits a residential deed to the county for recording more than 30 days after the delivery date of the deed will be charged a late filing fee of $10 a day for each day thereafter, up to a cumulative total of $500. The bill dedicates the proceeds of these late filing fees to combatting homelessness.

AI Summary

This bill encourages timely recording of residential deeds by imposing a late filing fee of $10 per day, up to a maximum of $500, on grantees who submit a deed for recording more than 90 days after it was delivered to them. The proceeds from these late filing fees will be used to combat homelessness. The bill also requires deeds to include the delivery date of the deed to the grantee, and provides exceptions for certain situations where the delay in recording is not the grantee's fault.
