ALTA Applauds House Passage of Tax Package

WASHINGTON, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- American Land Title Association (ALTA) CEO Diane Tomb issued the following statement regarding the U.S. House of Representatives' passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill tax legislation.

"We commend the House for passing legislation that recognizes the needs of American small businesses, including the thousands of title and settlement companies ALTA represents. The expanded deduction under Section 199A is a welcome step that supports the long-term health of our small business members and the communities they serve.

ALTA is especially pleased to see the preservation of Section 1031 like-kind exchanges, which play a vital role in fueling real estate investment, promoting property improvements and driving local economic growth.

Provisions supporting homeownership, including those related to mortgage interest and capital gains exclusions, help provide certainty for buyers, sellers and lenders alike—strengthening the entire housing ecosystem.

We urge the Senate to build on this momentum and protect the real estate and housing incentives that help Americans build wealth, promote generational stability and drive our economy forward."
