Transfer Fee

Refers to a fee imposed as a condition of changing occupancy of a separate interest. The amount an association may charge in this regard is limited to the association’s actual costs to change its records in connection with a transfer of title or other interest. See Civ. Code §4575. Note, however, that the association may pass through a transfer fee charged to it by its management company without violating 4575. See Berryman v. Merit Property Management, Inc. (2007) 152 Cal. App. 4th 1544.
