A transfer tax is a tax imposed by state, county, or local government on the transfer of real property from one owner to another. It is typically based on the sale price or a flat rate per dollar of consideration.

An abstract of title is a condensed history of all recorded documents and proceedings that affect the title to a specific parcel of real property. It is a summary, not a guarantee, of title condition.

Actual notice means a person has direct, personal knowledge of a fact or interest in real property. This can come from being told, seeing something firsthand, or any form of direct awareness.
