Find the right help
Stockton city is in San Joaquin County, but confirm the exact parcel and office for a property-specific question. The Assessor handles valuation and parcel information, the Treasurer-Tax Collector handles property-tax bills and tax lien or demand routing, and the Recorder-County Clerk handles recorded documents. Court judgments follow the court and case named on the notice; a deed search is not a judgment search.
Useful county offices
Bring the property address and the bill, deed, case, or notice you have. Assessment, tax payment, recorded deeds, and court records are different tasks.

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). It applies when consideration is over $100, excluding a lien or loan that remains on the property after the sale. 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, while the purchase agreement can allocate the cost between buyer and seller. A city may take a share credited against the county tax, and some cities add a larger tax on top. Ask escrow or the title company to confirm the exact property location, taxable amount, any city tax or exemption, and the written allocation.
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 off your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
