ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please answer all questions in each section, and sign and complete the certification before filing. This form may be used in all 58 California
counties. If a document evidencing a change in ownership is presented to the Recorder for recordation without the concurrent filing of a
Preliminary Change of Ownership Report, the Recorder may charge an additional recording fee of twenty dollars ($20).
NOTICE: The property which you acquired may be subject to a supplemental assessment in an amount to be determined by the County
Assessor. Supplemental assessments are not paid by the title or escrow company at close of escrow, and are not included in lender
impound accounts. You may be responsible for the current or upcoming property taxes even if you do not receive the tax bill.
NAME AND MAILING ADDRESS OF BUYER: Please make necessary corrections to the printed name and mailing address. Enter
Assessor’s Parcel Number, name of seller, buyer’s daytime telephone number, buyer’s email address, and street address or physical
location of the real property.
NOTE: Your telephone number and/or email address is very important. If there is a question or a problem, the Assessor needs
to be able to contact you.
MAIL PROPERTY TAX INFORMATION TO: Enter the name, address, city, state, and zip code where property tax information should be
mailed. This must be a valid mailing address.
PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE: To help you determine your principal residence, consider (1) where you are registered to vote, (2) the home
address on your automobile registration, and (3) where you normally return after work. If after considering these criteria you are still
uncertain, choose the place at which you have spent the major portion of your time this year. Check YES if the property is intended as
your principal residence, and indicate the date of occupancy or intended occupancy.
DISABLED VETERAN: If you checked YES, you may qualify for a property tax exemption. A claim form must be filed and all
requirements met in order to obtain the exemption. Please contact the Assessor for a claim form.
H: Check YES if the change involves a lender, who holds title for security purposes on a loan, and who has no other beneficial
interest in the property.
"Beneficial interest" is the right to enjoy all the benefits of property ownership. Those benefits include the right to use, sell,
mortgage, or lease the property to another. A beneficial interest can be held by the beneficiary of a trust, while legal control of the
trust is held by the trustee.
I: A "cosigner" is a third party to a mortgage/loan who provides a guarantee that a loan will be repaid. The cosigner signs an agreement
with the lender stating that if the borrower fails to repay the loan, the cosigner will assume legal liability for it.
M: This is primarily for use when the transfer is into, out of, or between legal entities such as partnerships, corporations, or limited liability
companies. Check YES only if the interest held in each and every parcel being transferred remains exactly the same.
N: Check YES only if this property is subject to a government or nonprofit affordable housing program that imposes restrictions.
Property may qualify for a restricted valuation method (i.e., may result in lower taxes).
O: If you checked YES, you may qualify for a new construction property tax exclusion. A claim form must be filed and all requirements
met in order to obtain the exclusion. Contact the Assessor for a claim form.
It is important to complete this section completely and accurately. The reported purchase price and terms of sale are important factors in
determining the assessed value of the property, which is used to calculate your property tax bill. Your failure to provide any required or
requested information may result in an inaccurate assessment of the property and in an overpayment or underpayment of taxes.
A. Enter the total purchase price, not including closing costs or mortgage insurance.
“Mortgage insurance” is insurance protecting a lender against loss from a mortgagor’s default, issued by the FHA or a private
mortgage insurer.
B. Enter the amount of the down payment, whether paid in cash or by an exchange. If through an exchange, exclude the closing costs.
“Closing costs” are fees and expenses, over and above the price of the property, incurred by the buyer and/or seller, which
include title searches, lawyer’s fees, survey charges, and document recording fees.
C. Enter the amount of the First Deed of Trust, if any. Check all the applicable boxes, and complete the information requested.
A “balloon payment” is the final installment of a loan to be paid in an amount that is disproportionately larger than the regular
installment.
D. Enter the amount of the Second Deed of Trust, if any. Check all the applicable boxes, and complete the information requested.
E. If there was an assumption of an improvement bond or other public financing with a remaining balance, enter the outstanding balance,
and mark the applicable box.
An “improvement bond or other public financing” is a lien against real property due to property-specific improvement
financing, such as green or solar construction financing, assessment district bonds, Mello-Roos (a form of financing that can be
used by cities, counties and special districts to finance major improvements and services within the particular district) or general
improvement bonds, etc. Amounts for repayment of contractual assessments are included with the annual property tax bill.
F. Enter the amount of any real estate commission fees paid by the buyer which are not included in the purchase price.
G. If the property was purchased through a real estate broker, check that box and enter the broker’s name and phone number. If the
property was purchased directly from the seller (who is not a family member of one of the parties purchasing the property), check the
“Direct from seller” box. If the property was purchased directly from a member of your family, or a family member of one of the parties who
is purchasing the property, check the “From a family member” box and indicate the relationship of the family member (e.g., father, aunt,
cousin, etc.). If the property was purchased by some other means (e.g., over the Internet, at auction, etc.), check the “OTHER” box and
provide a detailed description (attach a separate sheet if necessary).
H. Describe any special terms (e.g., seller retains an unrecorded life estate in a portion of the property, etc.), seller concessions (e.g.,
seller agrees to replace roof, seller agrees to certain interior finish work, etc.), broker/agent fees waived (e.g., fees waived by the
broker/agent for either the buyer or seller), financing, buyer paid commissions, and any other information that will assist the Assessor in
determining the value of the property.
A. Indicate the property type or property right transferred. Property rights may include water, timber, mineral rights, etc.
B. Check YES if personal, business property or incentives are included in the purchase price in Part 3. Examples of personal or business
property are furniture, farm equipment, machinery, etc. Examples of incentives are club memberships (golf, health, etc.), ski lift tickets,
homeowners’ dues, etc. Attach a list of items and their purchase price allocation. An adjustment will not be made if a detailed list is not
provided.

to each of the manufactured homes. If the manufactured home is registered through the Department of Motor Vehicles in lieu of being
subject to property taxes, check NO and enter the decal number.
D. Check YES if the property was purchased or acquired with the intent to rent or lease it out to generate income, and indicate the source
of that anticipated income. Check NO if the property will not generate income, or was purchased with the intent of being owner-occupied.

brief description of repair needed.
