STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATION
Deeds or other documents conveying ownership or interest must be accompanied by a completed and sworn Statement of Consideration. It is the responsibility of the buyer (or the buyer's agent) to fully complete the Statement of Consideration. The County Clerk will return the third copy of the form to the buyer (or buyer's agent). Three copies of a computer rendition of the statement must be presented to the clerk.
If an exemption applies to the transaction, a Statement of Consideration is not required to be submitted. However, submission of a statement completed through Part C with a signature under Part E may avoid the necessity of the County Assessor contacting the buyer (or buyer's agent) to confirm applicability of the exemption. If a submitter chooses to provide a statement on an exempt conveyance, the exemption number should be circled on the form. This is in Part C.
This is a confidential document used by the County Assessor to determine market value of county property.
