Instruction
CLAIM FOR REASSESSMENT EXCLUSION FOR TRANSFER BETWEEN GRANDPARENT AND GRANDCHILD
IMPORTANT: In order to qualify for this exclusion, a claim form must be completed and signed by the transferors and a transferee and filed
with the Assessor. A claim form is timely filed if it is filed within three years after the date of purchase or transfer, or prior to the transfer of
the real property to a third party, whichever is earlier. If a claim form has not been filed by the date specified in the preceding sentence,
it will be timely if filed within six months after the date of mailing of a notice of supplemental or escape assessment for this property. If
a claim is not timely filed, the exclusion will be granted beginning with the calendar year in which you file your claim. Complete all of
Sections A, B, and C and answer each question or your claim may be denied. Proof of eligibility, including a copy of the transfer
document, trust, or will, may be required. In situations where all information is not known by the due date, the parties should file this
claim with as much information as possible, and later amend that claim with any revised information.
1. This exclusion only applies to transfers that occur on or after March 27, 1996;
2. In order to qualify, all the parents of that grandchild must be deceased as of the date of purchase or transfer. As used in the
preceding sentence, parents are those persons who qualify under section 63.1 as children of the grandparents. However,
for transfers that occur on or after January 1, 2006, a son-in-law or daughter-in-law of the grandparent that is a stepparent to the
grandchild need not be deceased in meeting the condition that “all of the parents” of the grandchild must be deceased.
3. In order to qualify, the real property must be transferred from grandparents to their grandchildren;
4. If you do not complete and return this form, it may result in this property being reassessed.
5. California law provides, with certain limitations, that a “change in ownership” does not include the purchase or transfer of:
• The principal residence between parents and children and certain grandparent and grandchild transfers (see above); and/or
• The first $1,000,000 of the factored base year of other real property between parents and children and certain grandparent and grandchild transfers (see above).
NOTE: Effective January 1, 2009, Revenue and Taxation Code Section 63.1(j) allows a county board of supervisors to authorize a one-time
processing fee of not more than $175 to recover costs incurred by the county assessor due to the failure of an eligible transferee to file
a claim for the grandparent-grandchild change in ownership exclusion after two written requests have been sent to an eligible transferee
by the county assessor.
