FinCEN Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule Still Alive — Effective March 1, 2026
Highlights
- The U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has adopted a new Residential Real Estate (RRE) Rule, which goes into effect March 1, 2026. The rule requires certain real estate professionals to report transactional information to FinCEN.
- Non-financed, residential real estate transfers involving entity or trust transferees will trigger reporting obligations beginning March 1.
- Private client, estate planning, and real estate attorneys as well as paralegals may constitute designated reporting persons for certain transactions.
- Not to be confused with the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), the RRE Rule currently does not contain reporting exemptions for domestic U.S. entities or persons.
Non-financed residential real estate closings take notice.
