1. Sign in the Documentary Transfer Tax Box (top right).

3. Fill out the Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR). This form is required by the
Assessor's Office. You can download a copy for Sacramento at www.assessor.saccounty.net/.
Each county has its own form; contact the assessor in the county where the property is
located.
4. Record the deed and submit the PCOR at the Recorder’s Office in the county where the
property is located. If you attached the property description (instead of typing it out), be sure to
include the attachment when you record the Interspousal Transfer Deed.
