The Assessor's Office does not require or maintain blueprints for single-family residences.

It is also the legal right of a property owner to appeal their assessed valuation, and the sale price is a valuable resource for the appeal.

The property address, or the situs address, is not typically assigned to vacant land. If this is the case, you will want to contact the municipality in which the property is located and request a situs address. The municipality will contact the Assessor's Office with the new situs address, and we will update our records accordingly.

If the property is held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship or as community property with right of survivorship, you can record a copy of the death certificate or a notice of death at the Recorder's Office along with the legal description. The name will be removed once the recorded document is forwarded to our office from the Recorder's Office. Recording the death certificate will not remove the decedent's name from a trust.
