Change in Ownership Statement
Death of Real Property Owner
Important Notice
Section 480(b) of the Revenue and Taxation Code requires that the personal representative file this statement with the Assessor in
each county where the decedent owned property at the time of death. File a separate statement for each parcel of real property owned
by the decedent in Santa Cruz County.
This notice is a written request from the Office of the Assessor for a Change in Ownership Statement. Failure to file this statement
results in the assessment of a penalty. This statement will be held secret as required by Section 481 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code.
Filing this form does not change title to the property. Title can only be changed by recording an appropriate document with the County Recorder.
The property may be subject to a supplemental assessment in an amount to be determined by the Santa Cruz County
Assessor. For further information on your supplemental roll obligation, please call the Appraisal Division at (831) 454-2002.
