We have switched to use Encompass and it is telling us that the sales disclosure is a zero tolerance item. Do you have anything I can point to a regulation or through State Code that specifically states and supports that the Sales Disclosure is NOT a zero tolerance but rather a 10% fee?

thanks,

The sales disclosure is required to be filed and recorded with the transfer of property. Its fee is included with the recording fees. We use Encompass and it does not treat the sales disclosure fee as a 0 tolerance item. You may want to check your fee set up parameters to be sure you have it properly identified.

Is this disclosed in the Taxes and Gov Fees section? So you have $95.00 on line E. Then Recording fees Deed: $25 Mortgage $55 that only total $80 but the total in that box is $95 and nowhere does it say the other $15 is for a sales disclosure fee?

Check your fee set-up.

The Sales Disclosure fee is disclose on line 02 payable to the applicable county auditor under Section E.

Thank you

The Sales Disclosure fee now needs to be lumped with the recording fees. Encompass automatically made this change to include it in the recording fees. We didn't have to do anything to our set-up other than find out why it started being lumped in the recording fee on Line 01 in Section E.
