County
 
The REET is due on recording of the contract.  No deed is required now and
no deed should be recorded as it defeats the security purpose of the
contract. Treasurer needs to stop giving legal advice.  Especially when it
is wrong.  I have threatened (in writing) to sue the Snohomish County
Treasurer more than once for their unauthorized practice of law for refusing
to record unless we change excise tax affidavits to clearly erroneous WAC
codes and changing the content of excise tax affidavits over my client's
signature.  The Treasurer's offices seem to have taken on a new role in the
last few years.

Dear List-mates, 
 
PNC, seller in a real estate contract, wants to record the contract and pay
the REET, but county treasurer tells her she needs to record a QCD or SWD as
well. 
 
PNC is adamant that she will only do fulfillment deed when she gets all the
payments on the contract. 
 
My understanding is that REET is triggered on the signing of the contract,
but could the real estate contract be recorded without the QCD or SWD?
 
Thanks for your help,
 
Neli
