Bill > HB0480

This bill requires that any deed of conveyance for a property not previously described in a recorded instrument must have its property description prepared by a registered land surveyor, as defined under Tennessee Code. A land surveyor is a professional who measures and maps land boundaries and terrain characteristics. The bill specifically exempts deeds of conveyance prepared by or for governmental departments or agencies from this requirement. The purpose appears to be ensuring accuracy and professional standards in property descriptions, particularly for properties that have not been previously documented in official records. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated justification that it serves the public welfare. The legislation amends Title 66, Chapter 5, Part 1 of Tennessee Code Annotated, and is related to professional surveying standards and property documentation.
