Assessment Technicians determine whether or not a transfer of property interest is a reassessable event. They also determine whether an assessment exemption or exclusion from reassessment exists, such as a transfer between spouses or a parent-to-child transfer.

Assessment Technicians verify and maintain real property ownership records using various sources. These include documents on file with the County Recorder, such as:

• Grant Deeds

• Quit Claim Deeds

• Trust Deeds

• Court Orders such as Judgment Quieting Title

A document not representing the grantors as the current owners may require correction and re-recording. A document that is not re-recorded to correct the discrepancy creates a cloud on title of the real property.
