What is FOR-145?
The New Account Number Request Form (printed on the PDF as the Business Personal Property New Account Request Form, FOR-145) is the Maricopa County Assessor form used to request a new account number for a business, or for an additional location of an existing business.
The form collects the details the Assessor's Personal Property unit needs to open the account: a contact name, email and phone, the business website, the FEIN and NAICS code, the type of business, the date the business started at the location, the legal entity name, the DBA name, a care-of name, a mailing address and the physical location address.
The form is a request for an account number only. The Assessor's instructions on the form state that it does not replace the annual reporting form, the Arizona Business/Agriculture Property Statement. Businesses that already have an active account number do not use it to get a copy of that statement: they contact the Business Personal Property unit for a replacement copy.
On the Assessor's forms library, the form sits in the Business Property category, next to the Business Personal Property Account Information Change Request and the Business Personal Property Instructions (DOR 82520I).
Who needs to file FOR-145?
Owners or representatives of a new business use this form to request a new account number from the Maricopa County Assessor. Owners of an existing business use it when they add a new location and need an account number for it.
Conditions printed on the form:
- A business that is new must send a complete asset listing with the request.
- If you are requesting new account numbers for several locations that share the same DBA name, attach a supplemental listing of all physical locations.
Who should not use it: a business that already has an active account number and only needs a replacement copy of its Arizona Business/Agriculture Property Statement. The form tells those businesses to contact the Business Personal Property unit instead. The form also does not take the place of the annual Arizona Business/Agriculture Property Statement.
The form does not say who may sign or submit it on a business's behalf; it asks for a contact name, so questions about acting for an owner go to the Assessor's Personal Property unit.
When to file FOR-145
Submit the form when you open a new business or add a new location to an existing business and need a new account number for it. The form prints no separate due date, and it asks for the date the business started at this location, so have that date ready before you begin.
Because it is not the annual reporting form, completing it does not satisfy the Arizona Business/Agriculture Property Statement. For any deadline that applies to that statement, or for questions about timing, contact the Maricopa County Assessor's Office Personal Property unit at 602-506-3386.
Documents you need
- A complete asset listing, required with the request when the business is new.
- A supplemental listing of all physical locations, required when you request new account numbers for multiple locations with the same DBA name.

- Sending the request for a new business without a complete asset listing, which the form requires.
- Requesting accounts for several locations under one DBA name without attaching a supplemental listing of all physical locations.
- Treating the form as the annual report; it does not replace the Arizona Business/Agriculture Property Statement.
- Using the form to get a replacement Arizona Business/Agriculture Property Statement when the business already has an active account number; contact the Business Personal Property unit instead.
- Mailing the completed form to the Assessor's street address; the form directs completed forms and supporting information to [email protected], and gives the street address for questions.
