This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require that a sales listing form be attached to and recorded with any deed involved in the transfer of real property. The bill specifies that the sales listing form must be completed in addition to the existing declaration of consideration or value, which is signed by the grantor, grantee, or another responsible party. The Tax Commissioner is authorized to design a combined form that incorporates both the declaration and the sales listing information, which can be used as an alternative to the separate forms. Additionally, the bill mandates that the clerk of the county commission deliver the sales listing forms to the Tax Commissioner monthly.

The bill also includes provisions for the information required from lienholders who wish to file a statement regarding the real property. Upon receiving the sales listing form, the clerk is required to provide copies to the assessor and sheriff, who will then update their records accordingly. The sheriff is tasked with notifying lienholders and new owners of any relevant information regarding taxes and liens associated with the property. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process of recording real property transactions and ensure that all necessary information is collected and communicated effectively.
