What is Office Building Questionnaire – Alameda County, CA?
The Office Building Questionnaire is a questionnaire that the Alameda County Assessor's Office makes available for download on its Assessor Forms page, where it appears in the list of forms with the label "Questionnaire" in the form number column rather than a BOE or other numbered code.
The Alameda County Assessor is the county office that publishes the form. The Assessor Forms page groups many documents for property owners: exemption claims, change in ownership statements, business personal property forms and a series of questionnaires aimed at particular property types. Next to the Office Building Questionnaire, that list shows the Business Property Questionnaire, Shopping Center Questionnaire, Restaurant Questionnaire, Theater Questionnaire, Motel/Hotel Income-Expense Questionnaire, Golf And Country Club Questionnaire, Service Station Questionnaire and Rental Questionnaire – Commercial/Industrial. Each one is a separate document, so the office building version is the one named for office buildings.
The Assessor asks that every form be filled out as completely as possible for quicker processing. It also warns that a form submitted without the filer's name or business name, mailing address, business location (if applicable), parcel number (if known) and telephone number may not be processed.
The Assessor notes that every California county has its own set of forms. This one belongs to Alameda County.
Who needs to file Office Building Questionnaire – Alameda County, CA?
The Assessor's page does not say who must complete the Office Building Questionnaire. It places the form among the forms it offers to property owners and business operators in Alameda County, so the audience is people who deal with the Alameda County Assessor about an office building.
What the page does say applies to anyone who uses its forms:
- Give your name or business name, your mailing address, the location of the business if applicable, your parcel number if you know it, and a telephone number. Without this information the Assessor may not be able to process the form.
- If your property is in another California county, do not use Alameda County forms. The Assessor says each county has its own set of forms and tells you to contact that county's Assessor's Office.
- Other property types have their own questionnaires on the same page, such as the Shopping Center Questionnaire or the Business Property Questionnaire. Choose the one that matches your property.
If you are unsure whether the questionnaire applies to you, call the Assessor's Office at (510) 272-3787.
