Changes to our property transfer webpages

We’re updating our webpages related to Form RP-5217-PDF. Our goal is to improve the user experience by:

• by customizing the content based on the type of user (local assessment official, property buyer/seller or real estate professional), and
• helping users to self-address issues with downloading the form.

We’ve published two new webpages as part of this transition:

• Real property transfer information is the new landing page for our sales content. From this page, users select which category they fall into.
• The RP-5217-PDF entry page provides helpful information for users before they access the form.

We’ll continue to keep you up to date as we improve our web content.
