What are the penalties for not filing a Preliminary Change of Ownership Report or Change of Ownership Statement?
Per section 482 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, if you fail to notify the county assessor of a change in ownership, such failure to report will result in the assessment of penalties and interest and may also result in penalties associated with any escape assessments. The penalty for failure to file a Change in Ownership Statement upon a written request by the assessor is $100 or 10 percent of the new base year value resulting from the transfer, whichever is greater, but such penalty may not exceed $2,500 unless the failure to file was willful.
