This report is not a public document. The information contained herein will be held secret by the Assessor (section 451, Revenue and Taxation Code); it can be disclosed only to the district attorney, grand jury, and other agencies specified in section 408 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Attached schedules are considered to be part of the report. The Assessor’s failure to keep such records confidential could subject him or her to civil damages (Government Code section 1504), and if such failure is determined to be willful, the Assessor may be subjected to other sanctions as provided by law (Government Code sections 3060-3074). Agents of the county hired as consultants are employees of the county and are subject to the same provisions, sanctions and penalties upon failure to keep records confidential.
If this report is prepared prior to January 1, any change in real property between the date as of which the report is prepared and January 1, must be reported to the Assessor on a supplemental report.
Report each lease or parcel on a separate report form. Two wells may be reported on one form provided the wells do not contain more than one zone. For example if wells A and B produce from single zones, well A would be reported on lines 5 through 17 on the left side of the form, and well B would be reported on lines 5 through 17 on the right side of the form. However, if well A produced from two separate and distinct zones, one zone would be reported on the left side of the form, and one zone would be reported on the right.
All personal property owned by the respondent and any property belonging to others on the lease as of January 1 must be reported to the Assessor on BOE 566-D, Oil and Dissolved Gas Production Report. Operating expenses must be reported on BOE 566-K, Annual Oil and Gas Operating Expense Data.
