Under the law, when a property has changed ownership (except when caused by the death of an owner) the owners must file a change in ownership statement when the transfer is recorded; or, if not recorded, within 45 days of the date of transfer. Proposition 13 requires that all property be reassessed as of its date of change in ownership. In certain instances, owners may apply for an exclusion to the reassessment. To learn more, read the Assessor's information about changes of ownership or change in ownership reassessment exclusions.
