BOE-502-A H(P3) REV. 1 6(0 -17)6
                                                      IMPORTANT NOTICE
The law requires any transferee acquiring an interest in real property or manufactured home subject to local property taxation, and that is assessed by the 
county assessor, to file a change in ownership statement with the county recorder or assessor. The change in ownership statement must be filed at the 
time of recording or, if the transfer is not recorded, within 90 days of the date of the change in ownership, except that where the change in ownership has 
occured by reason of death the statement shall be filed within 150 days after the date of death or, if the estate is probated, shall be filed at the time the 
inventory and appraisal is filed. The failure to file a change in ownership statement within 90 days from the date a written request is mailed by the assessor 
results in a penalty of either: (1) one hundred dollars ($100), or (2) 10 percent of the taxes applicable to the new base year value reflecting the change in 
ownership of the real property or manufactured home, whichever is greater, but not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) if the property is eligible for 
the homeowners' exemption of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) if the property is not eligible for the homeowners' exemption if that failure to file was not 
willful. The assessor is required to mail the request to file a change in ownership statement to the transferee at the address specified for mailing tax 
information on either the recorded instrument, the document evidencing a transfer of an interest in real property or manufactured home, or on the filed 
preliminary change in ownership report, or, if an address is not specified for mailing tax information, to any address reasonably known to the assessor. 
This penalty will be added to the assessment roll and shall be collected like any other delinquent property taxes, and be subject to the same penalties for 
nonpayment.  
                                                  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
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.
PART 1:  TRANSFER INFORMATION
If you check YES to any of these statements, the Assessor may ask for supporting documentation.
C, D, E, F: If you checked YES to any of these statements, you may qualify for a property tax reassessment exclusion, which may allow 
you to maintain your property’s previous tax base. A claim form must be filed and all requirements met in order to obtain any of 
these exclusions. Contact the Assessor for claim forms.  NOTE: If you give someone money or property during your life, you may be 
subject to federal gift tax.  You make a gift if you give property (including money), the use of property, or the right to receive income from 
property without expecting to receive something of at least equal value in return. The transferor (donor) may be required to file Form 
709, Federal Gift Tax Return, with the Internal Revenue Service if they make gifts in excess of the annual exclusion amount.
G: Check YES if the reason for recording is to correct a name already on title [e.g., Mary Jones, who acquired title as Mary J. Smith, is 
granting to Mary Jones]. This is not for use when a name is being removed from title.
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 (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.
PART 2:  OTHER TRANSFER INFORMATION
A: The date of recording is rebuttably presumed to be the date of transfer. If you believe the date of transfer was a different date (e.g., 
the transfer was by an unrecorded contract, or a lease identifies a specific start date), put the date you believe is the correct transfer 
date. If it is not the date of recording, the Assessor may ask you for supporting documentation.
B:  Check  the  box  that  corresponds  to  the  type  of  transfer.  If  OTHER  is  checked,  please  provide  a  detailed  description.   Attach  a 
separate sheet if necessary.
C. If  this  transfer  was  the  result  of  an  inheritance  following  the  death  of  the  property  owner,  please  complete  a Change
in Ownership Statement, Death of Real Property Owner, form BOE-502-D, if not already filed with the Assessor’s office.

PART 3: PURCHASE PRICE AND TERMS OF SALE
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.
PART 4: PROPERTY INFORMATION
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.
C. Check YES if a manufactured home or homes are included in the purchase price. Indicate the purchase price directly attributable 
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
