What is Apartment/Household Personal Property Questionnaire (Change Of Ownership Or New Construction Only) – Alameda County, CA?
The Apartment/Household Personal Property Questionnaire (Change Of Ownership Or New Construction Only) is a questionnaire published by the Alameda County Assessor. Its title limits it to cases of a change of ownership or new construction.
The Alameda County Assessor's Office lists it on its Assessor Forms page in the group of documents labeled "Questionnaire". Unlike many forms on that page, it carries no BOE or agency form number; the number column simply reads "Questionnaire". The Assessor asks that every form be filled out as completely as possible for quicker processing.
Other documents on the same page are separate forms with their own titles. They include the New Construction Questionnaire, the Business Property Questionnaire, the Change In Ownership Statement (BOE-502-AH) and the Preliminary Change Of Ownership Report (BOE-502-A). This page covers only the apartment and household personal property questionnaire.
The Assessor also notes that every California county has its own set of forms, so this questionnaire applies to property in Alameda County only.
Who needs to file Apartment/Household Personal Property Questionnaire (Change Of Ownership Or New Construction Only) – Alameda County, CA?
The main group is people dealing with the Alameda County Assessor over apartment or household personal property where there has been a change of ownership or new construction. The title says the questionnaire is for those two cases only, so do not use it for other situations.
What the Assessor asks every form filer to provide:
- Name or business name

The Assessor states that if this information is missing, it may not be able to process the form.
