Ownership


The Assessor receives well over 100,000 documents from the Recorder's Office each year, however you can expect that an ordinary house on a subdivision lot purchase could take 4-8 weeks after recording before the change displays on the web site. Purchases outside of a subdivision (with metes & bounds legal descriptions or splits of property) may take longer. The Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) of the property should be included in the legal description on the recorded deed.
