Should I turn off IS before demounting a lens?
As a general practice, yes. If you have Image Stabilization activated on a lens, you’ll want to turn it off, wait three seconds, and then unmount the lens. Not doing this can potentially put the IS system in what we call an ‘unparked’ position, which means the optics are still floating, which could cause damage if shaken and jarred.

Another possibility is to switch the camera off before changing lenses. That would reduce the problem of static on the sensor attracting dust.

What if one turns the camera off instead before dismounting the lens?
Or is it not going to park the lens when doing that?
This is good information.
I always try to turn the camera off rather than the lens as I have a tendency to not turn the lens back on at first.

With Nikon no. I don’t know about other mfrs but with Nikon you only have to turn off the camera to change lens. When you turn off the camera the VR is also turned off. The VR isn’t active until the shutter button is activated. If you need to turn off stabilization your manual would tell you so.

Same with Canon. Unless the shutter button is depressed halfway the IS is inactive. I have never shut off IS when changing a lens, and often forget to even shut off the camera. I've never had a problem. I have also never seen anything in any Canon manual about shutting off the IS when changing. It is simply not an issue with Canon.

I always turn the camera off before changing lenses to prevent any possible problem. VR/IS is not touched.
Think of changing a lens as unplugging a peripheral (mouse, printer, memory,...) from your computer without powering the computer down. Sometimes you might get away with it with no computer hang-up.
The camera is talking to the lens, the lens is responding. Then all of sudden...
