SB 1411: Taxation: documentary transfer tax.

Version:

Existing law authorizes counties and cities and counties to impose a documentary transfer tax at a specified rate upon deeds, instruments, or writings by which any lands, tenements, or other realty sold are transferred. Existing law additionally authorizes a city located within a county that has imposed a tax described above to impose a documentary transfer tax at a specified rate.

This bill would remove the authorization for a city to impose a documentary transfer tax.
