What is Motel/Hotel Income-Expense Questionnaire – Alameda County, CA?
The Motel/Hotel Income-Expense Questionnaire is a questionnaire the Alameda County Assessor publishes on its Assessor Forms page for download; by its title, it collects income and expense information for a motel or hotel property.
The Assessor's Office is the Alameda County office that issues it. On the forms page the document is classed under the form-number label "Questionnaire", so it carries no BOE or other numeric code of its own.
It is one of several property-type questionnaires the Assessor lists side by side. The others cover different kinds of property: Restaurant Questionnaire, Office Building Questionnaire, Theater Questionnaire, Shopping Center Questionnaire, Service Station Questionnaire, Golf And Country Club Questionnaire, Mobile Home Park Questionnaire, Rural Property Use And Income Questionnaire and Rental Questionnaire – Commercial/Industrial. The motel/hotel version is the one built for lodging properties.
The forms page gives general guidance that applies to every form it lists: fill out the form as completely as possible for quicker processing, and provide your name or business name, mailing address, location of business if applicable, parcel number if known and telephone number. The Assessor warns that if this information is missing, the office may not be able to process the form.
The Assessor also reminds readers that every California county has its own set of forms, so this questionnaire applies to property in Alameda County only.
Who needs to file Motel/Hotel Income-Expense Questionnaire – Alameda County, CA?
The audience the questionnaire's title points to is owners or operators of motel and hotel properties located in Alameda County. The Assessor's forms page does not say who must complete it, so confirm whether the office has asked you to file it by calling (510) 272-3787 or writing to [email protected].
Points that apply to anyone using it:
- Property in another California county does not belong here: the Assessor states that every county has its own forms and tells owners of property elsewhere to contact that county's Assessor's Office.
- Other kinds of property have their own questionnaires, such as the Restaurant Questionnaire or Office Building Questionnaire, listed separately by the Assessor.
- Provide your name or business name, mailing address, location of business, parcel number if known and telephone number so the office can process the form.
