Homesteads are a special kind of estate that California law protects from forced sale. Homestead protection is not, however, automatic. For a property to be a homestead it must be the dwelling place where the family permanently resides and the property must be formally designated as a homestead.
The home must have been the principal place of residence of the owner on the lien date, January 1st. To claim the exemption, the homeowner must make a one-time filing with the county assessor where the property is located.
Standard recording fee for a single, regular size document (8 11) is $13.00 for the first page and $3.00 for each additional page. In addition: If any of the pages are larger or smaller, a penalty fee of $3.00 is charged for each page of the document. Any page over 8 14 will not be accepted for recording.
