Rule 560-11-8-.13 - Secured Lines of Credit(1) Intangible recording tax is due and payable by the note holder, upon the recording of an instrument securing a long-term revolving line of credit secured by real estate, a long-term line of credit secured by real estate or long-term equity line of credit secured by real estate on the total amount of the line of credit, whether advanced or not.(2) The determination of whether the revolving line of credit, secured line of credit, or equity line of credit is long-term is made at the time of recording from the face of the instrument. If the term of the revolving line of credit, secured line of credit, or the equity line of credit will extend beyond a three year period, notwithstanding when advances will be advanced or repaid, the revolving line of credit, the secured line of credit, or equity line of credit, will be deemed long-term.(3) The $25,000 maximum intangible tax limit provided for in O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-61 shall apply with respect to the total amount of credit contemplated by the line of credit. No additional tax will be due on subsequent advances secured by the instrument as long as the principal outstanding at any one time does not exceed the maximum amount permitted to be outstanding as determined from the face of the instrument.Ga.
