Sec. A30-42. Recordation subject to payment of tax.

The Recorder shall not record any deed, instrument or writing subject to the tax imposed by this chapter unless the tax is paid at the time of recording. A declaration of the amount of tax due, signed by the party determining the tax or his agent, shall appear on the face of the document. The declaration shall include a statement that the consideration or value on which the tax due was computed was, or that it was not, exclusive of the value of a lien or encumbrance remaining on the interest or property conveyed at the time of sale. If the party submitting the document so requests, the declaration may be made on a separate paper which shall be affixed to the document by the Recorder after the permanent record is made and before the original is returned as specified in Government Code Section 27321. The Recorder may rely on the declaration as to the amount of the tax due provided he has no reason to believe that the full amount of the tax due has not been paid.

Every document subject to tax hereunder which is submitted for recordation shall show on the face of the document, or in a separate document, the location of the lands, tenements or other realty described in the document. If said lands, tenements or other realty are located within a city in the County, the name of the city shall be set forth. If said lands, tenements or other realty are located in the unincorporated area, of the County, that fact shall be set forth.
