Bill Summary

As introduced, requires half the revenue collected from recordation taxes be returned to the county in which the real property is located on a recurring basis; applies to transfers of real property on or after July 1, 2025. - Amends TCA Section 67-4-409.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee's tax code to require that the state's Department of Revenue return 50% of recordation taxes collected from real estate transfers back to the county where the property is located. Recordation taxes are fees paid when real estate property changes ownership and is officially recorded with local government. Currently, these taxes are fully collected by county registers and then remitted to the state, but this legislation would mandate that half of those tax revenues be sent back to the originating county. The bill specifies that this new provision will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to all real property transfers on or after that date. This change could potentially provide additional funding for county-level services and infrastructure by ensuring that counties receive a significant portion of the tax revenue generated from property transfers within their jurisdiction.
