Section 35-4-430 Intent. The Legislature finds and declares that the public policy of this
state favors the marketability of real property and the transferability of interests in real
property free of title defects or unreasonable restraints on alienation. The Legislature further
finds and declares that private transfer fee obligations violate this public policy by impairing
the marketability and transferability of real property and by constituting an unreasonable
restraint on alienation regardless of the duration of the obligation to pay a private transfer
fee, the amount of a private transfer fee, or the method by which any private transfer fee
is created or imposed. Thus, the Legislature finds and declares that a private transfer fee
obligation should not run with the title to property or otherwise bind subsequent owners of
property under any common law or equitable principle. (Act 2011-260, p. 474, §1.)...
