home, whichever is greater, but not to exceed ve thousand dollars ($5,000) if the property is eligible for the
homeowners’ exemption or twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) if the property is not eligible for the homeowners’
exemption if that failure to le was not willful. This penalty will be added to the assessment roll and shall be
collected like any other delinquent property taxes and subjected to the same penalties for nonpayment.
Section 480 of the Revenue and Taxation Code states, in part:
(a) Whenever there occurs any change in ownership of real property or of a manufactured home that is subject to local property taxation and is assessed
by the county assessor, the transferee shall le a signed change in ownership statement in the county where the real property or manufactured home is
located, as provided for in subdivision (c). In the case of a change in ownership where the transferee is not locally assessed, no change in ownership
statement is required.
(b) The personal representative shall le a change in ownership statement with the county recorder or assessor in each county in which the decedent
owned real property at the time of death that is subject to probate proceedings. The statement shall be led prior to or at the time the inventory and
appraisal is led with the court clerk. In all other cases in which an interest in real property is transferred by reason of death, including a transfer through
the medium of a trust, the change in ownership statement or statements shall be led by the trustee (if the property was held in trust) or the transferee
with the county recorder or assessor in each county in which the decedent owned an interest in real property within 150 days after the date of death.
The above requested information is required by law. Please reference the following:

must be recorded to vest title in the heirs. An attorney should be consulted to discuss the specic facts of your situation.
Change in Ownership: California Code of Regulations, Title 18, Rule 462.260(c), states in part that “[i]nheritance (by will or intestate succession)”
shall be "the date of death of decedent."
Inventory and Appraisal: Probate Code, Section 8800, states in part, "Concurrent with the ling of the inventory and appraisal pursuant to this section,
the personal representative shall also le a certication that the requirements of Section 480 of the Revenue and Taxation Code either:
(1) Are not applicable because the decedent owned no real property in California at the time of death
(2) Have been satised by the ling of a change in ownership statement with the county recorder or assessor of each county in California in which
the decedent owned property at the time of death."
Parent/Child and Grandparent/Grandchild Exclusions: A claim must be led within three years after the date of death/transfer, but prior to the date
of transfer to a third party; or within six months after the date of mailing of a Notice of Assessed Value Change, issued as a result of the transfer of
property for which the claim is led. An application may be obtained by contacting the county assessor.
