This proposed amendment to the Hampshire County Charter would impose, effective January 1,1993, a Regional Services excise of $1.14 per $500 of the value of transactions recorded at the county registry of deeds. The excise would:
• Be paid by the seller and would not apply where the seller was a political subdivision of the Commonwealth;
• Be collected through procedures proposed by the register of deeds and approved by the county commissioners; and
• Be deposited in a separate account, to be appropriated annually by the county commissioners for services including, but not limited to, regional municipal and human services, the University of Massachusetts Cooperative Extension services in the county, and the registry of deeds.
