Preliminary Change of Ownership
There is no charge for the Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR) if it is complete and accompanies the transfer document, or deed. Without a PCOR, there may be an additional fee of $20. PCOR forms are available at the county assessor's office, which is located at:
547 Market Street

Documentary Transfer Tax
If there is a consideration, or anything of value, given in order to transfer real property, a documentary transfer tax may be due at the rate of $0.55 cents for each $500 (or fractional part thereof) when the net consideration or value exceeds $100. This rate is exclusive of the value of any lien or encumbrance remaining thereon at the time of the transfer.
For More Information
The above fees are in addition to the county recorder's basic recording fees. For more information about deeds and fees, please email the recorder's office at (530) 458-0500.
