What is ACR 417?
Form ACR 417, Affidavit of Ownership Transfer, is the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder form on which the grantor and grantee of a property transfer identify themselves, list the individual owners and percentages of any entity, and certify the information under penalty of perjury.
The printed heading of the PDF reads "Affidavit of Ownership Transfers", and the form carries the code ACR 417 with the revision date Rev. 08/2013. A note on the form says it is available in alternate formats.
The form is built around one transfer. At the top you enter the Document Number, the Recording Date and the Assessor's Parcel Number. Item 1 is about the grantor (transferor) and item 2 about the grantee (transferee). For each, you mark whether the party is a Corporation, Partnership, Individual or LLC. If the party is a corporation, partnership or LLC, part B asks you to list the individual owners and the percentage (%) each one owns, with room for four owners and a note to attach additional sheets if necessary.
A certification closes the form: the signer declares, under penalty of perjury under the laws of California, that the information on the form, including any accompanying statements or documents, is true, correct and complete to the best of their knowledge and belief. It is an affidavit that describes who the parties are. It is not a bill, a payment form or a deed.
Who needs to file ACR 417?
The form is addressed to the parties to an ownership transfer. Item 1 is completed for the grantor (transferor) and item 2 for the grantee (transferee), so both sides of the transfer are described on the same page.
Conditions printed on the form:
- If a grantor or grantee is a Corporation, Partnership or LLC, part B of that item must list the individual owners and their percentage (%) of ownership.
- If the party is an Individual, the part B owner list is not needed.
- If more owners must be listed than the four lines allow, attach additional sheets.
The certification is signed by an owner, partner, officer or authorized agent, as the signature line says. The form also asks for the signer's title, the date, a telephone number and, if the party is incorporated, its full legal name. The form does not say which transfers require it, so check with the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder if you are unsure whether it applies to yours.
When to file ACR 417
The affidavit is tied to one specific transfer, which it identifies by Document Number, Recording Date and Assessor's Parcel Number, so have those details in hand before you start. No due date is printed on the form. The signer dates the certification at signing, and the date is part of the signature block together with the signer's title and telephone number. For any timing requirement that applies to your transfer, ask the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder, which issues the form.
Documents you need
- Additional sheets, if necessary, attached to the form when a grantor or grantee that is a corporation, partnership or LLC has more individual owners than the four lines of part B can hold.

How to submit ACR 417
The form prints no mailing address, portal or office for returning it.

If you list more owners than the form has room for, include the additional sheets with it. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the agency's channels.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving part B blank when the grantor or grantee is a corporation, partnership or LLC; the form asks for the individual owners and their percentage (%) of ownership.
- Listing owners without the % Owned figure beside each name.
- Squeezing more than four owners into the lines provided instead of attaching additional sheets.
- Marking the wrong type in item 1.A or 2.A, such as Individual for a party that is an LLC or corporation.
- Omitting the full legal name if incorporated in the signature block.
- Submitting the certification unsigned, or signed by someone who is not an owner, partner, officer or authorized agent.
- Leaving the title, date or telephone number blank in the signature block.
