SB 17-140

Senate Bill 17-140, also known as the Torrens Title Registration System bill, was signed into law. This bill stops new applications for registering land titles through the Torrens system starting January 1, 2018. The Torrens system is a method of recording property ownership that provides quicker and more secure title registration compared to traditional methods. Since the bill has been signed, it means that no new properties can be registered using this system from the start date onwards, affecting only those who were planning to use the Torrens system for their land titles after January 1, 2018.

Official Summary

Beginning January 1, 2018, the bill closes the Torrens title registration system to new applications to register land title in this state. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
