A corporation or limited partnership may change its name by filing certain documents with the Corporate Charter Division. If the particular entity owns real estate, the Corporate Charter Division will not notify the local assessment office of the change.

However, a representative of the entity may contact the local assessment office to advise of the change of name. In order to update the assessment records, the local assessment office should then confirm the name change by reviewing the amendment file which is on-line in all assessment offices. After confirming the name change, the assessment records should be updated with the liber and folio reference of the name change. In the event that there is a question regarding the name or the confirmation of a name change, local assessment offices should contact the Corporate Charter Division.
