Find the right help
Redding is in Shasta County. The Assessor handles assessment questions, the Tax Collector handles property-tax questions, the Recorder handles county recording and recorded-record inquiries, and the Superior Court has a public Probate Division contact route. A court judgment is a separate matter; use the court named on the document. Call the office that matches the task and have the property address or parcel information ready.
Useful offices
These contacts route you to the office for the task; they do not confirm a parcel’s record, balance, case, recording acceptance, or fees. Verify current instructions directly with the office.
Shasta County · assessment and parcel-record inquiries
Contact the Assessor about assessed value, assessment records, and parcel-record questions. Assessment is separate from property-tax collection, deed recording, and court judgments; ask the office about the exact property rather than treating this page as a parcel-specific assessment.
Phone: 530-225-3600.
Shasta County · property-tax questions
For an unpaid property-tax question, contact the Tax Collector about the parcel’s current status, balance, or payment instructions. The City of Redding’s official website directs its “Property Taxes” quicklink to the County Tax Collector. This is different from asking the Assessor about assessed value.

Shasta County · recording and recorded-record inquiries
Contact the Recorder about county recording procedures and recorded land records, including a deed-record inquiry. This is not the office for an assessed-value conclusion, property-tax balance, or a court judgment. Verify current instructions and fees with the Recorder.

Helpful California rule
California counties charge documentary transfer tax at $0.55 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500 ($1.10 per $1,000). The county tax applies when consideration is over $100; a lien or loan that remains on the property after the sale is not counted toward that threshold. Some transfers are exempt.
A city may take half of the county rate as its own share, credited against the county tax, so the combined rate usually stays at $1.10 per $1,000. Some cities add a larger transfer tax. The county Recorder collects the tax when the deed is recorded. State law makes a person who signs or benefits from the deed responsible for the tax, but the purchase agreement can allocate the cost between buyer and seller.
Ask title or escrow to confirm the property’s county, any city tax, taxable amount, exemption, and contract allocation for your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
