The Assessors working with the State BOE annually update these forms and the BOE by Statute approves the content and presentation of these forms. Each form or request is required to be filed specific to each county where the property is located.

To use this system you must first pick a county, the county where the property is located. Next, you can pick the form that will help you provide data and information to the Assessor.

If you know the form’s name or the BOE form number, you can input that information in the “Search” field to select that form. If not, you can look at the list of available forms. See “Forms” above.
