A change of ownership is NOT your Deed and is NOT part of closing when you purchase property. It is obtained from State Engineer’s office and shows new owner info with hydrographic mapping info as to how much water rights are on your land.
Per state statute 72-1-2.1
In the event of any changes of ownership of a water right, whether by sale, gift or any other type of conveyance, affecting the title to a water right that has been permitted or licensed by the state engineer, has been declared with the state engineer or has been adjudicated and is evidenced by a sub file order, partial final decree, final decree or any other court order, the new owner of the water right shall file a change of ownership form with the state engineer
