Title: Legislation Boosts Support for Small Businesses in the Title Insurance Sector
In a significant development for small businesses in the title insurance industry, Diane Tomb, CEO of the American Land Title Association (ALTA), commends the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the One Big Beautiful Bill tax legislation on May 22, 2025. This new legislation aims to bolster small businesses, particularly those represented by ALTA, which comprises over 6,000 title insurance companies, settlement agents, and related professionals. The expanded deduction under Section 199A included in the bill is viewed as a crucial benefit that enhances the long-term viability of small business members, thereby supporting their communities and local economies.
The preservation of Section 1031 like-kind exchanges within the legislation is another highlight. These exchanges are essential in facilitating real estate investment and property improvements, which are vital for stimulating local economic growth. By allowing for deferred tax payments on property exchanges, Section 1031 encourages investment in real estate, leading to enhanced property values and community development. ALTA's focus on these provisions underscores the association's commitment to promoting a robust environment for real estate transactions, which are foundational to economic stability.
ALTA further emphasizes the importance of provisions aimed at enhancing homeownership, such as mortgage interest and capital gains exclusions. These measures are critical for providing stability and certainty for buyers, sellers, and lenders alike, reinforcing the entire housing ecosystem. With a focus on fostering generational wealth and stability, ALTA urges the Senate to maintain the momentum created by this legislation. By protecting real estate and housing incentives, the Senate can help ensure that Americans have the tools necessary to build wealth and contribute to economic progress.
In related news, the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill reflects a growing recognition of the vital role small businesses play within the broader economy. As policymakers take steps to support these businesses, organizations like ALTA remain pivotal in advocating for the interests of their members and the communities they serve. This legislation not only has immediate implications for the title insurance sector but also sets a precedent for future initiatives aimed at fostering economic growth and stability across various industries.
