Useful offices
San Luis Obispo is a city within San Luis Obispo County. The Assessor, Tax Collector, Clerk-Recorder and Superior Court are County or court services, not City programs. The property address and the notice or record in front of you help identify the right route.
San Luis Obispo County · assessed value and assessment records
Use the Assessor for assessed-value questions and assessment records. That is different from a property-tax balance, a recorded deed, or a court judgment.
1055 Monterey Street, Suite D360, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.
San Luis Obispo County · secured property taxes and tax-defaulted property auctions
Use the County Tax Collector for secured property-tax account questions and current information about tax-defaulted property auctions. Ask the County about the account tied to the exact property.
San Luis Obispo County · deeds, recorded documents and document recording
Use the Clerk-Recorder for deeds and other official recorded documents, recording requirements, and local documentary-transfer-tax handling. A deed record is not an assessment, tax-account balance, or court-case status.
1055 Monterey Street, Suite D120, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.
San Luis Obispo County · probate division and court matters
The County Clerk-Recorder lists the Superior Court for probate and wills inquiries. The Court has a Probate Division and self-help routing; this is a general route, not a decision about a particular estate, venue, or who can sign.
A California sale-cost rule
California counties charge documentary transfer tax at $0.55 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500 ($1.10 per $1,000), when consideration is over $100, not counting a lien or loan that stays on the property after the sale. The County Recorder collects the tax when the deed is recorded. A purchase agreement can allocate the cost, and a city tax or exemption may affect the total. Ask the title company or escrow to confirm the property's county, any city tax and the taxable amount.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes and your share of current property taxes are separate.

Use the San Luis Obispo County Assessor for assessed value and assessment records. The County lists its office at 1055 Monterey Street, Suite D360, San Luis Obispo. For a property-tax account or unpaid secured taxes, contact the Tax Collector instead.
Use the San Luis Obispo County Tax Collector for secured property-tax questions and current tax-defaulted-property auction information. Ask about the account for the exact property; the Assessor handles assessment records, not tax collection.
The County Clerk-Recorder handles recording deeds and other official documents. A court judgment belongs to a court case, not the deed-recording file; use the court or issuing agency named on the judgment or notice and have its case number ready.
The County Clerk-Recorder contact page lists the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court for probate and wills inquiries. The Court Probate Division has probate self-help routing. That general route does not determine who can sign for a particular estate or which court process applies.
The county rate is $0.55 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, when consideration is over $100, excluding a lien or loan that remains after the sale.
