California SB255 requires county recorders to notify parties by mail after recording a deed, mortgage, or deed of trust.

California SB255 mandates that each county establish a recorder notification program by January 1, 2027. County recorders must notify by mail the parties executing a deed, quitclaim deed, mortgage, or deed of trust within 30 days of recordation. The notification must be sent to the address used for mailing tax bills. The recorder may require the inclusion of assessor’s identification numbers on the document. The bill also allows for an optional electronic notification program. The recorder may collect a fee for implementing the program, not exceeding the reasonable costs of services.
