AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Truro to impose a 0.5% real estate transfer fee. The fee will be paid by the purchaser of the real property and the funds collected will be split, with 50% going to the town's Capital Improvement Stabilization Fund and 50% going to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The bill also outlines several exemptions from the fee, such as transfers to first-time homebuyers, government entities, and transfers between family members. The fee is due at the time of the property transfer, and the town can collect interest and pursue legal action for any unpaid fees.
