RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Auditor-Controller to issue a refund of overpayment of documentary transfer tax in the amount of $303.60 to SPL Express, Inc.,1486 Colorado Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90041 (Series # 2015-0224817).

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a request to refund $303.60 of over-collected funds. Both the over-payment and reimbursement of documentary transfer tax are from fiscal year 2015-2016 General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The County Clerk-Recorder received duplicate payments for documentary transfer tax. A grant deed was submitted twice for recording, so the documentary transfer tax was collected twice. Refund in the amount of $303.60 should be made to: SPL Express, Inc.,1486 Colorado Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90041, Series # 2015-0224817.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to reimburse the party would cause the company to pay more than legally required for documentary transfer tax.
