INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING WELFARE EXEMPTION SUPPLEMENTAL AFFIDAVIT
REHABILITATION - LIVING QUARTERS
FILING OF AFFIDAVIT
This affidavit is required under the provisions of sections 251 and 254.5 of the Revenue and Taxation code and must be filed when seeking exemption on property that involves rehabilitation of persons and/or living quarters. A separate affidavit must be filed for each location. This affidavit supplements the claim for welfare exemption and must be filed with the county assessor by February 15 to avoid a late filing penalty under section 270. If you do not complete and file this form, you may be denied the exemption.
FISCAL YEAR
The fiscal year for which an exemption is sought must be entered correctly. The proper fiscal year follows the lien date (12:01 a.m., January 1) as of which the taxable or exempt status of the property is determined. For example, a person filing a timely claim in February 2011 would enter "2011-2012" on line four of the claim; a "2010-2011" entry on a claim filed in February 2011 would signify that a late claim was being filed for the preceding fiscal year.

Identify the name of the organization seeking exemption on the property, corporate identification number (or limited liability number if the organization is a limited liability company), and mailing address.
SECTION 2. Identification of Property.

As requested in this section of the claim form, provide information on persons being rehabilitated and staff (and/or others) at the store or other facility for which you are claiming exemption.
SECTION 4. Housing - Living Quarters.
Complete this section of the claim form if the organization provides housing for the persons being rehabilitated and/or the organization provides living quarters for staff.
