§ 50368 Local Government Property Transfer

Key Takeaways

  • •To transfer ownership of something (like land), you need a special paper called a 'deed'.
  • •The deed must be signed by the leader of the group in charge (like a city council leader).
  • •The group's clerk must also confirm it with an official stamp or seal.

Example

A city wants to give a piece of land to a school.

The city council leader must sign a deed, and the city clerk must stamp it to make it official. Without these steps, the school doesn’t legally own the land.
