§ 20102. Fraud.
When there is good reason to believe that a fraud has been
perpetrated or attempted through the declaration of fictitious
consideration in any such conveyance, deed, instrument, or writing, the
Registrar of Titles shall, from the real estate rolls, or from other reliable
sources, assess the said lands, tenements, or other realty at their true
market value, and the tax on such conveyance, deed, or instrument shall
be assessed and collected on such true market value of the realty
conveyed; and any person who, with the intent to defraud, places a
fictitious valuation on any realty conveyed and subject to the tax
imposed in this Chapter, or any valuation which shall be less than the
actual amount of money or other valuable thing received or delivered in
payment for such realty, shall, in addition to the payment of the tax
assessed on the actual consideration received or true market value of the
realty conveyed, forfeit and pay a sum equal to twice the amount of such
tax. The Attorney General, shall bring suit for all such penalties in the
