House Bill 480 amends Tennessee Code Annotated by adding a new section to Title 66, Chapter 5, Part 1, which mandates that the description of real property in a deed of conveyance, when the property has not been previously described in a recorded instrument, must be prepared by a registered land surveyor as defined in Title 62. This requirement does not apply to deeds of conveyance prepared by or for governmental departments or agencies.

The bill aims to ensure that property descriptions are accurately and professionally prepared, thereby enhancing the reliability of property transactions. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
