City of Los Angeles · address and City service information
Use the City's address lookup to check City services and Council District for the exact property address. If an address is near a city boundary or uses a mailing locality, check the address rather than guessing from the mailing name.
City of Los Angeles Neighborhood Info ↗Los Angeles County · deed recording and documentary transfer-tax information
The county recorder collects documentary transfer tax when a deed is recorded. Use the County's tax information for that recording question; it is separate from property valuation, unpaid property-tax balances, and court judgments.
County documentary transfer-tax information ↗California counties charge documentary transfer tax at $0.55 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500 — $1.10 per $1,000. It applies when consideration is over $100, not counting a lien or loan that stays on the property after the sale. A city may take half of the county rate as its own share, credited against the County tax, so the combined rate usually remains $1.10 per $1,000. Some cities add a larger transfer tax on top, and some transfers are exempt.
State law assigns responsibility to a person who signs or benefits from the deed, while the purchase agreement can allocate the cost between buyer and seller. Ask title or escrow to confirm the property's county, any city tax, the taxable amount, exemptions, and the allocation for this sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes or your share of current property taxes.
